We agree to go more liberal when we set the current policy.
But I still believe that starting of allocating /2x size
to requesting ISPs who has nothing but only because they
have IPv4 customer is, I think, too far liberal.
Is this the sound model that ISP never come back to RIR
for
Is it practical to change in other regions?
We had a discussion about IPv6 address management in the LACNIC VIII
meeting in Lima (30 of june 2005) and my reading of the comments of
the meeting is that they are pretty much in line with the
considerations expressed by Thomas in his drafts.
Some comments:
Substantive:
s4: Code 1 bullet point: The 'Supported Qtypes' query disappeared from
the rest of the memo some time ago.
s5: para 5: Is the intended effect of the last sentence (defaulting to
accepting all link-local multicast addresses that have been joined) that
sending a
I have just been reviewing the latest version of the name lookups draft and
checking the IANA considerations for that draft triggered me to look across the
IANA considerations for all the ICMPv6 stuff we have in progress at present.
The conclusions are:
- icmp-v3 supersedes section 7 in
- I disagree that RFC3307 was only for Layer 3. It is clearly stated in the
Abstract and Introduction that:
The purpose of these guidelines is to reduce the
probability of IPv6 multicast address collision, not only at the IPv6
layer, but also at the link-layer of media that encode

Jordi,
I see situations for assigning a /128 when a unique device is connected,
which is not going to route anything else, but once it has other interfaces
(which is the most common case and will become more and more often) ...
A /128 breaks IPv6 Privacy Addresses (RFC3041). Every device
A /128 breaks IPv6 Privacy Addresses (RFC3041). Every device
needs a /64
to allow this mechanism to be used.

Alternative mechanisms could permit interface IDs to be shorter than 64
bits, for example 48 bits or far fewer than that. Interface IDs only
need to be unique within a given
