Hello, Is it really true that most of the market chose to use NAT rather than tunneling or dual-stack for IPv6 transition mechanism? As far as I know, many providers in Japan have long been servicing IPv6 service, and their choice was never NAT. It was mostly tunneling, with small number of dual-s

Pekka, The document came out of the IAB, while the NAT WG was active, so there was a lot of diplomacy between the IAB, the IESG, and the NAT WG chairs, to get to a version of the document that everybody was happy with. Since we don't have a NAT WG today, that side of it might be easier, but it can

My feeling is that Pekka is correct. Experience shows that whatever words we write in RFCs, prefixes leak. But it does seem reasonable to be clear that FEC0::/10 should be blocked at every administrative boundary. Brian Pekka Savola wrote: > > On Fri, 19 Sep 2003, Pekka Savola wrote: > > On T
