Okay, I'll make a fool of myself on-list -- certainly not the first time. ;-)
Why not use the highest-order 32 bits of an IPv6 address for interdomain routing... i.e., "overlay" them on IPv4 addresses and/or a 32-bit ASN? Yes, it smells of classful routing. Call me shortsighted, but how many billion interdomain routing policies do we really need?
Probably OT, but seems semi-fitting for the thread.
The whole 64 bits reserved for a link layer address thing seems silly, why don't we just put some payload in there and make the packets a fixed size... :) -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras@e-gerbil.net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC)
