Re: Anybody can participate in the IETF (Was: Why is IPv6 broken?)

Again, no one is interested in this problem yet because vendors really don't want their customers to demand more knobs. Cisco is the only vendor who has done anything at all. If you read about their knob, you immediately realize that it is a knob to control the failure mode of the box, not to "fix" anything. Why? It can't be "fixed" without not using /64 (or similar) or going to the extreme lengths I outline in those slides.

While it can't be "fixed", controlling the failure mode is adequate in the vast majority of cases. Beyond that, it becomes increasingly academic and purist-oriented rather than operational. Owen
