If you're on a DoD classified network that spans multiple facilities (as a contractor we only get access to certain ones, and only certain hosts are allowed to access them). Self contained networks are our problem.

Our classified networks aren't ever going to be connected to anything but themselves either, and they need sane local addressing. Some of them are a single room with a few machines, some of them are entire facilities with hundreds of machines, but none of them are going to be talking to a router or anything upstream, as neither of those exist on said networks.
Correct me if I am wrong, but won't Classified networks will get their addresses IAW the DoD IPv6 Addressing Plan (using globals)? /TJ
