Folks, FYI: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gont-v6ops-ipv6-addressing-considerations Comments welcome. :-) Thanks! Cheers, Fernando -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: IPv6 Addressing Considerations Date: Fri, 11 Dec 2020 13:07:04 -0300 From: Fernando Gont <fgont@si6networks.com> To: IPv6 Operations <v6ops@ietf.org> Folks, We have published a new Internet-Draft entitled "IPv6 Addressing Considerations". It is available at: https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-gont-v6ops-ipv6-addressing-considerati... The Abstract of the I-D is: IPv6 addresses can differ in a number of properties, such as scope, stability, and intended usage type. This document analyzes the impact of these properties on aspects such as security, privacy, interoperability, and network operations. Additionally, it identifies challenges and gaps that currently prevent systems and applications from leveraging the increased flexibility and availability of IPv6 addresses. We have discussed this topic with some of you off-list, and part of those comments still need to be incorporated (apologies for the delay!). However, we felt that this -00 version already contains quite a bit of material for discussion. (and given that there have been other recent threads related to IPv6 addressing on this list and on 6man@, we felt it would be timely to get this -00 version posted now). Your comments will be very welcome. Thanks! Regards, -- Fernando Gont SI6 Networks e-mail: fgont@si6networks.com PGP Fingerprint: 6666 31C6 D484 63B2 8FB1 E3C4 AE25 0D55 1D4E 7492
