[IPv6]Re: Reclaiming fec0::/10 (I-D Action: draft-templin-6man-mla-01.txt)

David, regarding your question #1, the answer is I don’t know. Is there a specific section in a specific reference I should look at to understand this question better?

As to question #2, it would probably be best to stick with the term “MANET router”; I think of a “MANET host” as a node that does not participate in the MANET routing protocol and is dependent on another node acting as a MANET router for its connectivity. But to your question, I think yes a MANET router can be part of more than one MANET zone, for example where some interfaces connect to MANET A and other interfaces connect to MANET B and the two zones do not mix. This would lead to a drawing that looks a lot like Figure 2 of RFC4007. At least, that is what I think it should look like – what do you think?

Thank you - Fred

Fred,

I still have concerns about whether a new scope is a good idea. But for now, I'll ask a couple of questions;

  1.  Will there be any need to use MANET local addresses URIs as IPv6 literals? Currently, there is no way to put a Zone ID in an IPv6 Literal URI.
  2.  Can a MANET host be part of more than one MANET zone? From the RFC4007 perspective, Zones other than Global have multiple instances.
Another possible issue with reusing fec0::/10 in RFC6724 is that it already has its own label but has a precedence of 1, the lowest. Does that work for your intended use? Yes, it can be changed, but it will take years to make happen.

Thanks
