Re: [v6ops] I-D Action: draft-ietf-v6ops-6to4-to-historic-09.txt

[David Farmer <[e-mail]>]

I support the changes made in this version, in particular the removal of 
the general recommendation to filter 192.88.99.0/24.  However, people do 
filter 6to4 and the route for 192.88.99.0/24, and I don't think the 
issue can and should be ignored.  I would prefer some discussion of when 
it is and is not appropriate to filter the route for 192.88.99.0/24.

Filtering of 6to4 or even 192.88.99.0/24 as part of the deprecation of 
anycast 6to4 relays within Internet in general is most definitely NOT 
appropriate.  However, the deprecation of anycast 6to4 relays combined 
with local security consideration seems like an appropriate reason to 
filter the route for 192.88.99.0/24 within an administrative domain.  If 
such filtering is implemented, it is much preferred that native IPv6 is 
provided within the administrative domain in question and the security 
policy not impact another administrative domain's access to an anycast 
6to4 relay.

Personally, I'd prefer a more detailed discussion as outlined in the 
paragraph above. However, I would find adding a general reference to RFC 
7123 or possibly a more specific reference to Section 3.4 of RFC 7123 in 
the security considerations section of the draft an acceptable alternative.

Thanks.
