The document, along with other ballot positions, can be found here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-babel-v4viav6/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMENT: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for this highly readable and useful document. Regarding the distaste for the dummy 192.0.0.8 address, it seems to me that this is a case of perfect as the enemy of good. A conflict-averse pragmatist, foreseeing the objection, might simply have left Section 3 out of the document. I don’t think that would have been a better outcome. I note furthermore that the 192.0.0.8 mechanism isn’t even being specified here — it’s specced in RFC 7600, and is just offered as an implementation option here.
