Re: Unicast and multicast site-local addresses

2003-10-15 Thread Andrew White
I'm not sure we want to throw out the idea of 'scope'. Even without SL, two scopes are architecturally enshrined in IPv6, link-local (addresses are valid and unique only on-link) and global (addresses are globally unique). You'll notice that I don't say addresses are globally valid. Architectura

Hi Pete, The deprecation document only applies to site-local unicast addresses. I pointed out in SF that we still have to deal with the scoped multicast addresses. That is one of the goals of the modified Scoped Addressing Architecture document. There has been some discussion on the ipv

Unicast and multicast site-local addresses

2003-10-15 Thread Barany, Pete
Hi, Question: How does the deprecation of site-local unicast addresses (as defined in RFC 3513 Section 2.5.6) impact/affect site-local multicast addresses (as defined in RFC 3513 Section 2.7)? For example, setting the 4-bit "scop" field to a value = 5 limits the scope of a multicast group to "site

In my opinion, I don't see a problem with this thread. I believe it is useful to see how v6 is being deployed or reasons why it is not being deployed. So, as long as it remains civil and doesn't degrade into a re-hash of past arguments, I don't see a problem with it continuing. Regards, Brian Boun
