Well, yes ... But same as the ad-hoc mode, it may be also considered as a
security issue, but the best way to sort it out for those cases (I guess all
the cases in an IETF meeting, hopefully), which is non-intentional, is to
advise the people.

Hi,
Yes, fully agree, it has been a very nice network, and demonstrated that
IPv6 don't create troubles in the WLAN !
Some failures this morning in the room of the monami6 bof (not sure if other
rooms experienced that). It seems it was IP related, not the WLAN.
Also, there is something that we should do for the next meetings. The same
way that some people tend to forget to disable ad-hoc, now that more and
more people is using IPv6, they need to remember to avoid advertising any
prefixes !
Sounds like a security problem to me; not something that can be fixed just by
asking people not to do that.
