Go figure. > > No need to "go figure", explained why in RFC 3879. Right. I know. Back when this was happening i felt this was somewhat ridiculous because scoped multicast addresses where not deprecated and those scoped multicast addresses where/are even worse than scoped unicast in the way they are defined in the IPv6 architecture. > The problem with the Site-Local unicast address space is that multiple > nodes holding the same unicast address (as in, meant to permanently > and exclusively identify one and only one node - "uni") is a fault. > The Site-Local unicast address space inadvertently created a potential > fault condition by design because it created unicast address > ambiguity. "Fault" is your assesment, its not rfc3879 language. For me its really hard to agree fully with rfc3879 because it draws a lot of justification from comparison with rfc1918, yet rfc1918 was back in 2004 and likely is still today the address space with the most number of host on the planet. How bad is something you call a fault if the mayority of the planet runs on it ? IMHO, the IPv6 architecture addition of (arbitrarily) locally numbered zones was the ambitious but insufficient fail, not the concept of scoped adresses itself. The scoped addresses where just counterintuitive to the global peer-to-peer connectivity vision of IPv6. > One operational problem with anycast address today is that you can't > look at the address and determine if it is intended to be an anycast > address or not, meaning you can determine if a duplicate address is a > fault or not.

Dedicated anycast address space would IMHO not help to magically make network layer deployment easier or more broadly deployable than it is today. The only benefit would be to transport layer, and i think by now we worked out how to deal with anycast in transport or other higher layer protocols without dedicated anycast address space. > > I think the pragmatic way is to actually continue to build successful > > experiments with the existing ULA definitions we have. > > ULAs don't meet the requirements.

Agreed, but that was not the proposal.
