There's only one word for it: Astounding.
Told by whom? I was one of the people at the the microphone. I work for
a firewall vendor, and I asked a question (probably rhetorical) of the IAB.
I have never, until now, heard the contrary fallacy attempted. That
is, "because we did X at an IETF meeting and it did not work
allright, it is therefore insufficient for the Internet."
That's a new one on me.
Clever, but wrong: networks much larger than 1,200 laptops use DHCPv4
on a daily basis all over the Internet without similar symptoms.
Start by asking the contractor, the volunteers and the IAD for a
postmortem on the operation of the network. anything else is just
speculation.
