Re: initial draft to bootstrap some discussions

[Mark Prior <]

I think that you don't need to introduce new attributes (import6, 
export6) to the autnum object to support IPv6 as there is an existing 
mechanism which is probably only currently used to inject static 
routes into BGP.

You can just overload the protocol mechanism, ie

import: [protocol <protocol1>] [into <protocol2>]
           <import-expression>

so if you wanted to just specify a rule for IPv6 you could say

import: protocol IPv6
	from AS2764
	accept { 2001:210::/35 }

omitting the protocol clause would imply any protocol and if you 
wanted it to just apply to IPv4 you would use "protocol IPv4".

Also I'm not sure you need to go into what defines an address prefix 
range as it is just the same as for IPv4. All you really need to say 
is the same constructs apply to IPv6 as well as IPv4. If you spell it 
out for IPv6 then you run the risk of getting out of sync with the 
base document.

Mark.
