But, >saying it's a parameter that is required to be 64, sound like it's a >constant or at least masquerading as a constant, and only confuses people. I strongly agree with this statement that the text should be revised to be a recommendation instead of a strict requirement that prevents operators from choosing an addressing scheme that best suits their needs. The way I read section 2.4 is that it's a /64 requirement, even though we have other standards (/127) and clear evidence from operators that they have a number of other mask lengths deployed. Speaking for my employer's (Nokia) implementation of IPv6, where I am the product manager responsible for our IPv6 feature set, we allow customers to configure a mask length of their choice. We can never change our implementation to be compliant with the proposed text because of the operational havoc it would create for our customers. It's simply infeasible to impose these kind of addressing restrictions. Kind regards, Greg -- Greg Hankins <ghankins@mindspring.com>
