RE: RFC6724-bis?

[Vasilenko Eduard <[e-mail]>]

Hi David, thanks. But it is not enough for an explanation.

Section 2.2.2 RFC 5200 example is just not relevant to the current situation, it was relevant to RFC 3484.
It is solved by default because the separate label has been attached to ULA in RFC 6724.
Now, IPv4_DA/IPv4_SA would be prioritized above GUA_DA/ULA_SA because of rule 5 (label match).
No problem.

If you have any other scenario that may affect static ULA prioritization above anything else – please show it.

Why do you believe that address expansion above 2000::/3 would be affected?
If people would continue to use ::/0 as the default and RFC6724 has it in the RC6724 table
Then how the problem could happen?
I do not understand this use case too.

I claim that the ULA problem is very small. It may be treated as a pure configuration problem. Just add static:
     fc00::/7               45    13
to gai.conf. Hence, the draft in v6ops is enough.

PS: it does not solve MHMP but it is a problem that possible to separate

Please read the first paragraph of RFC6724 section 10.6 and all it’s references very carefully. In particular, read 2.2.2 of RFC 5220.

Your argument contradicts the conclusions of 2.2.2 of RFC 5220. In short, your argument is only true today while we are using 2000::/3 for GUA. When that eventually changes, and it will some day, we would have to yet again rejigger the table.

RFC 6724 is almost correct, the only thing it got wrong is that the section 10.6 modifications must be mandatory and automatic, and not optional, otherwise ULA is broken and dysfunctional.

Let’s only fix the problem and not make new problems for the next generation of network engineers and operators.

Thanks

Such a type of misconfiguration does not make sense to optimize.
Hence, it is possible to operate FC/7 as a whole, no need to split it for /48s.

Hence, why not install permanent precedence to FC/7 in gai.conf?
It would not play any role on the host till the local router would deliver ULA PIO.
And even after this, it would not be used till DNS would show the ULA destination
Because rule 5 (matching labels) would make GUA_DA/ULA_SA a low priority, GUA/GUA would be chosen.

What is the problem with permanently changed FC/7 precedence even above GUA?

Indeed, which was exactly why I wrote gai_wrap.py as a userland proxy for that approach.
