Re: [v6ops] Comments to draft-mlevy-v6ops-auto-v6-allocation-per-asn

[Dino Farinacci <[e-mail]>]

So let's get back on track:

(1) I brought up VIN numbers because people are requesting for rather opaque addresses.
(2) I said that LISP EIDs are typically used as opaque addresses.
(3) I said the draft-mlevy-v6ops-auto-v6-allocation-per-asn is a decent encoding format for EIDs.

Nothing more was said, implied, or suggested.
