to be clear, i have no problem with iids being 64-bit. my issue is with
unicast globals being classful in 2.4.4.
Randy I take your point, but this supposed conflict isn't new, it's not
introduced in 4291bis, it goes back to RFC3513.
i know; and i have pushed back every cm of the way. it took years to
get the other classful insanity, tls/nla, removed. the old cidr war
continues. this last bit of classfulness (excuse the word) too will
pass.
Do you have a suggestion how to change this within the context of
advancing this to Internet Standard?
yes. simply remove the mandatory requirement for classful global
unicast addresses.
