Re: [DNA] [Announce] DNA in IPv6 Goals I-D Update



Dear Jim

Glad to see that the mailing list comes to life again. 

Kindly find my in-line comments.

Kindly tell us which part you'd like to remove more clearly. The mention 
of current IPv6 are mainly are at Sec 2 and Sec 3. But you seems to think 
the problems (described in Sec 3) are ok. 

We tried to present the current state of art for DNA. We aimed to describe 
the limitation of the existing IPv6 to clarify the problems and goals. It's not 
our intention to evaluate pro and con of possible solutions.  

We don't think RA's are totally useless. But neither do we think that an RA 
message by itself are adequate for checking for link change. Sometimes it 
may results in false detection to rely solely on it.

Glad to hear that.

We are looking forward it.
