I think we need to publish the document without these changes. This is a case where "the perfect is the enemy of the good"(*). Regarding future versions or an errata list... my own advice would be to leave EDNS0 RFCs out of this document, since it is intended for IPv6 recommendations not as a general "here are good things to have" document. I admit I'm not sure where such a list would reside. :( -- Shane (*) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_is_the_enemy_of_good From pk at DENIC.DE Wed May 2 08:36:59 2012 From: pk at DENIC.DE (Peter Koch) Date: Wed, 2 May 2012 08:36:59 +0200 Subject: [ipv6-wg] Last Call for publication of RIPE-501bis (reply by 20120426) In-Reply-To: <20120501133450.4d41b76c@shane-eeepc.home.time-travellers.org> References: <20120420100008.GC2059@nsn.com> <20120426130440.GB441@x27.adm.denic.de> <20120501133450.4d41b76c@shane-eeepc.home.time-travellers.org> Message-ID: <20120502063659.GR441@x27.adm.denic.de> Shane, > > 1) I'm missing RFCs 2671 and 3226 ("Do support EDNS0 and do it right") > > in the list of requirements for mobile nodes.

Message-ID: <4FAFECB5.3040804@ssd.axu.tm> Hi, We run 6to4 and Teredo relay routers and in order to monitor the service our network monitoring system has been pinging a handful of 6to4 and Teredo addresses elsewhere. If more than one of those addresses fail to answer pings, an alarm is raised. Now I'm looking for a few more addresses I could ping, so I could raise the alert threshold a bit. Any volunteers? And in case anyone else wants to ping some of our hosts, here's a couple of candidates: (sorry, no Teredo hosts) ns.trex.fi. IN AAAA 2002:c38c:c38c:15::35 mail.trex.fi.
