AW: WG Last Call: draft-ietf-v6ops-unman-scenarios-00.txt

["Bonness, Olaf" <Olaf.Bonness@t-systems.com>]

Hi Ronald,

from my point of view it's fairly obvious to have different subnets within my soho environment for instance one for every room I have or besides that when I want to use parts of my home (network) for professional reasons and want to separate this from my normal / private life.

My 2cents

You seem to be quite confident about that. Could you explain why you
think multiple subnets will arrive in SOHOs? I'm not saying I don't
agree with you. I just would like to know the scenarios where multiple
subnets are needed. And when they are needed. I think we have already
spent too much time on the scenario/analysis drafts. We should not
delay any longer when it is not absolutely necessary.

Another question is whether v6ops should pick this up. Maybe zerouter
(if that is going to be a WG) is a better place and we need to make
sure they cover IPv6, unmanaged networks and SOHOs too.
