Re: Deprecating IPv6

[Havard Eidnes <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

a tangential remark related to the wording in the draft:

>    The length of the Interface Identifier in Stateless Address

I think the "a /48 might be sufficient" part is not the best way
to express it.  When you talk about a /48 in IPv6, that's usually
interpreted to correspond to an address space which contains 2^16
/64s.

Suggestions for other ways of expressing what I think is intended
would be "For example, a 48 bit long suffix might be sufficient"
or "For exmple, 48 bits of address space might be sufficient".
