Re: [Autoconf] Closing summary on consensus-call for RFC5889 modifications

[reshmi r <[e-mail]>]

Hi Teco,

Do they really mean a model for the autoconfiguration and is there is
no role for host in autoconfiguration??........the topic goes in to
real debate. what was the final outcome of the discussion???.

Hi All,

Can anyone finalise the suggested outcomes of the discussion??Do you
all really mean that the routers only need to do the autoconfiguration
and the nodes have no role in it??? If so how can we believe a router
to be genuine and how can we ensure that the router will never become
selfish??? so there should be some role in hosts to monitor the
traffic behaviour of router and the host should be able to notify with
some protocol mechanism. do you all really mean to change the title???
I strongly disagree with this.


Rgds,
Reshmi.


Hi Thomas,

On the title change, I remember in Maastricht all accept one
preferred the title change. On the list as well.
There are two arguments.
1) it is _a_ model
2) the model doesn't support hosts, or at least not very well
On the latter, there was a discussion without outcome.

Regards, Teco
