We need to have reverse delegation for the 3FFE space, under ip6.arpa, and this has to happen *now*, not "at some point far away to the future when 6bone has ceased to exist and everybody is living peacefully under the RIR's hoods".
To summarize...
3FFE was supposed to be "experimental" but now it appears people want to change that...
Where do you draw the line between "experimental" and "production" Cant a 3FFE::/16 host speak with a 2001::/16 host? or an IPv4 host? Is it forbidden?
IPv6 is supposed to use A6 DNS RRs but now people appear to want to change that...
Guess what? People worked on that issues and came up with a recomendation!
.INT was supposed to be used by IPv6 but now people are demanding putting load on .ARPA servers...
Its a negligible load.
...and of course, no one wants to pay for any of these demands...and the cost of the changes is viewed as non-important...
Well. Some people do want IPv6, some others dont.
...and to really sum it up...the claim is made that the U.S. is not needed, yet the demands are sent to the U.S.
If RIPE and APNIC can support the approval for Bill Manning's request, does the request status remain denied? ./Carlos "Networking is fun!" -------------- [http://www.ip6.fccn.pt] http://www.fccn.pt <cfriacas@fccn.pt>, CMF8-RIPE, CF596-ARIN, Wide Area Network Workgroup F.C.C.N. - Fundacao para a Computacao Cientifica Nacional fax: +351 218472167
