Re: [OSPF] Removal of MOSPF from OSPFv3

Hi Vincent,

I couldn't agree more with Anton. Once you implement OSPFv3, you can  
bring it forward as an experimental RFC and specify it completely  
(not just the few reserved bits as we have today).

Also, I don't think the prospect of something that someone might  
implement or even intends to implement is enough to influence the  
standard. The original OSPFv3 document has been around since 1999 so  
there has been an ample gestation period for MOSPFv3 implementations.

Thanks,
Acee
