[6bone] RFC2772 rewrite

[Bob Fink]

6bone Folk,

As noted last week, the pTLA review panel felt strongly that it was time to 
rewrite/update RFC2772.

Thus we would like to call for ideas/suggestions/issues for the rewrite. 
Please send your comments to the list, or to one of the panel folk if you 
want to comment privately.

Also, if it would be useful to have an ad hoc 6bone meeting in Atlanta, 
please let us know. Although I will not be at this IETF, someone else from 
the panel could lead the discussion.


Regarding 6bone operating issues, please look at Pekka Savola's 6bone-mess 
draft to see if you think any/all of it should be included in the RFC2772 
rewrite:

>Currently, IPv6 Internet is, globally considered, inseparable from
>the 6bone network.  The 6bone has been built as a tighly meshed
>tunneled topology.  As the number of participants has grown, it has
>become an untangible mess, hindering the real deployment of IPv6 due
>to low quality of connections.  This memo discusses the nature and
>the state of 6bone/IPv6 Internet, points out problems and outlines a
>few ways to start fixing them; also, some rough operational
>guidelines for different-sized organizations are presented.  The most
>important issues are: not offering transit to everyone and real
>transit operators being needed to take a more active role.
