Thanks Phillip

Yes, this document will be very helpful to those of us just beginning to deploy IPv6.   

Most of the very recent dialogue has centered around LL and BGP.   We do not use BGP, so I will be listening intently, but may not have much to comment on that specific  facet. 

Thanks again

Mike

Michael:

I am following this conversation with interest, especially since you seem to be new to IPv6 network design, and thus are exactly the intended audience for this draft.

The questions you are coming up with seem to be very similar to the ones I had when I first started doing IPv6 network design.  Those questions later prompted me to start the draft.

So far, I have not seen anything new in this conversation to add to the draft, but it could well be that I am suffering from "document fatigue". You, on the other hand, are reading it with fresh eyes and may well see things that I just miss.

I encourage you and everyone else on this thread to send me any suggestions you have for improving the document.
