> - 'Basic Requirements for IPv6 Customer Edge Routers'
>   <draft-ietf-v6ops-6204bis-09.txt> as Informational RFC

this document persists in confusing routing and forwarding.

there are no routing protocols, a la 1812, here.  there is confused text
such as

4.1.  General Requirements

   The IPv6 CE router is responsible for implementing IPv6 routing; that
   is, the IPv6 CE router must look up the IPv6 destination address in
   its routing table to decide to which interface it should send the
   packet.

which i thought was forwarding, not routing.

RA/RD doeth not a router make.
