RE: Review of draft-ietf-v6ops-nap-02.txt



Hi Thomas,

They do not believe that was fair... That is an edit mistake of me as there
was a 
comment about that in the archives.

Oh, and one more peeve.

Does the WG really believe this statement is a fair representation of
reality:

> 4.6.   Global Address Pool Conservation

>    IPv6 provides sufficient space to completely avoid the need for

>    340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 (3.4*10^38) total
>    possible addresses.

That is, given /48s to end sites, stateless address autoconfiguration and
64-bit interface identifiers, do we undermine our own credibility by
claiming IPv6 supports 10^38 addresses?
