[Alexandre Petrescu <[e-mail]>]

Hi 6MANners,

I submitted the version 17 of this draft about variable plen for LLs.

This is the ChangeLog:

-17: added a new use-case for sysadmins in need of an intuitive LL
      address (to check with ping) used for next-hop of routing
      protocols.

-16: added a description of the behaviour of ifconfig
      fe80:1::1/32 on MAC OS and Windows 10 Operating Systems;

      added a suggestion about the use of ULA prefixes instead of LL
      prefixes;

      added a reference to an RFC 7404 about the use of
      only LL addresses in an IPv6 network;

      explained the result from practice of the use of 'fe80::1:2/64';

      explained why the text says 'hidden' for '%' on some OSs;
      mentioned the DNS kind of solutions;

      added explanation of manual configuration and automation;

      added exaplanation of an example of complex to remember and type
      link-local addresses;

      added explanation of why DNS solution is a problem mouvement, not
      problem resolution.

Abstract:
    A rejected Erratum to RFC4291 "IPv6 Addr Archi" on the topic of link-
    local addresses 'would need' a draft.  This draft is an answer to
    that need.

    The length of the prefix of an IPv6 link-local address is variable.
    The minimal value is 10 decimal.  The maximum value is 127 decimal.

 


Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission
until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
