Re: [Int-area] New version of draft-bormann-intarea-alfi

Hi Carsten,

Here is a draft exploring a slightly different approach to
"link adaptation avoidance":

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-generic-6man-tunfrag-07

It mentions tunnels, but is applicable to any link type over
which IPv6 requires the assistance of a link-specific adaptation
scheme.

You might also want to have a look at SEAL, which accommodates
arbitrarily large MTU sizes over tunnels:

http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-templin-intarea-seal-62.txt

I think what you are proposing (and what the other draft I cited
is proposing) would be compatible with SEAL.

Thanks - Fred
