we keep saying that the whole ietf, e.g., apps, should be working
on ipv6. well, a corollary is that we have to let go of some of
the work. dns and discovery are obviously already being worked on
elsewhere. the conclusion seems obvious
I don't think there is any objection to this view in the IPv6 working
group. The work in question was an effort to extend the IPv6 Stateless
Address Autoconfiguration mechanisms to also provide the addresses of DNS
resolvers to allow an IPv6 host to be able to function on the
Internet. How we got to the current proposal is a long painful story that
I am not sure anyone wants to repeat or talk about.
