Overall, I liked this doc. This would seem to be the logical place to
put in the critical bits (if any) from Jordi's point-to-point doc, as
well.
A few small comments,
- in section 2.1, "allocation" should be "assignment"
- in secyion 2.4.1, the HD-ratio for v6 is for *sites* not addresses
like in v4
- the embedded-RP part was already commented on.
- in section 4.3, there's an uppercase SHOULD for CGA regeneration,
but this kind of doc shouldn't use uppercase keywords
- in section 4.3, CGA's aren't really indistinguishable, because if
you know (or guess) the public key of the sender, you can verify who
it belongs to.. but for many purposes, these have similar properties.
- section 4.4, as above, you shouldn't need to mention embedded-RP
reserved addresses. These are not reserved by default: it's the local
admin's decition whether to put an RP at one of those interface-ID's,
so they be used freely (though I'd advise that hosts still shouldn't
use those).
