RE: New Version Notification for draft-bonica-6man-frag-deprecate-00.txt

I have the following suggestion: IPv6 hosts can try to gain knowledge of the path MTU to a destination. If the path blocks or filters PMTUD etc, then the host should revert to 1280 bytes else the hosts can use a higher packet size. This mechanism would make Fragment header redundant anyway The

Hi Remi, A few months ago, I raised some concerns around RFC 6164 which permitted use of /127 prefixes on inter-router p2p links. You mention use of u/g bits and reserved IID range for 4rd Don't you think that network operators who have by now implemented 6164 based addressing in their networks

Hi Joel, RFC 6164 overriding 3627 seems logical However, I am looking more from perspective of 5375 Also If one has to "go read the discussion on 6164" to understand it - this is itself an indication that 6164 has not done a good job of providing a conclusive recommendation on use of prefixes w

Hi,   I am one of the many Network Engineers/architects that are today on the verge of assigning IPv6 addressing in their core networks. There are two points that I would like to open a debate on and really looking for some substantial reasoning and logic on.   And the points are:   Q1: "What i
