I'd like to provide this as an example of those concerns, without any additional commentary. :-) See also: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf/current/msg89517.html -------------------------------------------------- I read the article and Tim Warnock on ipv6.org.au gave a pretty good and very brief summary. Pasted here for those that don't have time to read it. :-) "large L2 domain + ipv6 windows privacy extensions + some intel card bug + some mention of igmp snooping = multicast flood w/ high switch/router cpu..." Of course it's worth reading and there is a lot more to the post... scott
