RIPE-196 (IPv6 policy document) analysis and proposed changes
by Niall Richard Murphy 29 Mar '01

29 Mar '01

Folks, At RIPE 38 there was a significant amount of discussion and several presentations in the IPv6 WG about the current IPv6 allocation policy document, RIPE 196. On foot of that a small task force got together to try and put their thoughts into a better form. Now we are announcing the results, viewable at: http://www.enigma.ie/articles/global-ipv6-alteration.html We hope that this document will help to provoke discussion about current IPv6 policies, and perhaps even act as a catalyst for their modification :-) I'd like to thank all who participated for their hard work. Niall -- Enigma Consulting Limited: Security, UNIX and telecommunications consultants. Address: Floor 2, 45 Dawson Street, Dublin 2, Ireland. http://www.enigma.ie/
