Did I misunderstand? > Mr. Lemon, this is the only message in this thread where I can find you saying anything about the expiration of locally generate ULA prefixes. p1. It looks like you agree that locally generate ULA prefixes should be allowed to expire. What I don't see is any conceptual outline for deciding, in a distributed methodology, which prefixes to renew and which to release when their valid lifetime expires. Without seeing that, I can't agree that you've proposed anything that solves the problem I keep yammering about, much less offered a better solution than the one I proposed earlier in the thread. p2. I also remain confused about the reasoning behind calling for a persistent locally-generated ULA prefix. In a previous message you said that it's okay for locally-generated ULA prefixes to expire, because there is no need for hosts on home networks to have any guarantee that at least one of its interface addresses is invariant over time, just that at least one of their addresses is never flash renumbered when a delegated prefix changes. As Lorenzo has demonstrated earlier today, this quality of never being flash-renumbered is easily met by delegated ULA and ordinary GUA prefixes. Returning to my question: why do we always need a locally-generated ULA prefix? If it's to provide a time-invariant locally routable address to hosts, then locally generated ULA prefixes cannot ever be permitted to expire for any reason. If they are ever allowed to expire, then they don't provide the time-invariant property. However, if we don't actually need the time-invariant property, then what does a locally-generated ULA prefix do for us whenever one or more delegated prefixes is also present? It's not clear to me they are anything but absolutely redundant and unnecessary in that situation. -- james woodyatt <jhw@nestlabs.com> Nest Labs, Communications Engineering
