Re: [v6ops] [E] New Version Notification for draft-mishra-v6ops-variable-slaac-problem-stmt-01.txt

Let me ask a question of the operators. This draft, as of today, is in discussion in 6man and will probably be discussed in the 6man meeting. I have not offered the authors a slot in v6ops, as it is not being discussed here. That said, it is presumably a solution to an operational problem, in that the prefix that SLAAC is being used to generate an address in is not exactly 64 bits.

Soliciting opinions on the problem: is this something that needs a solution? On the solution: what do you think of it? Does it have holes?

This draft as well addresses the MAJOR gap that exists today with lack of parity and the historical framework of the impact of this lack of partify that has existed since the IPv6 specification was published 20+ years ago.
