Re: [lisp] Last Call: <draft-ietf-lisp-eid-block-03.txt> (LISP EID Block) to Informational RFC

In Section 6:

"It is suggested to IANA to temporarily avoid allocating any
 other address block the same /12 prefix the EID /16 prefix
 belongs to.  This is to accommodate future requests of EID
 space without fragmenting the EID addressing space."

Shouldn't that be under IANA Considerations?

Well, if we go along that road we should put the whole document in a single 
"IANA Considerations" Section. ;-)

Actually the current IANA Considerations section states the same request but 
does not specify "/12".
You are right that it should be clearly stated, to make the document 
coherent. Will fix. thanks


it would be very helpful for the document to clearly show the basis for the 
calculation of a /12. Why a /12 and not any other size? What are the underlying 
estimates here? Why do they lead to the conclusion of a /12?

I am uncomfortable with the rather vague nature of the justification being 
shown here, and I don't think that this document as it stands is ready for 
publication.
