[6bone] comments on draft-fink-6bone-phaseout-00

[Pekka Savola]

Hello,

A few comments.

In general, I think the schedule should even be sped up a bit (allocation 
DL 31.12.2003, withdrawal 31.12.2004 or 1.7.2005), but I'm okay with the 
current one if that's what folks think.

Substantial:

The IANA MUST reclaim the
   3FFE::/16 prefix upon the date specified in 2.0, and MUST make
   provisions to set it aside from any other uses for a period of at
   least two years after this date to minimize confusion with its
   current use for the 6bone (e.g., thus allowing production IPv6
   networks to filter out the use of the 3FFE::/16 prefix for a
   reasonable time after the 6bone phaseout).

==> I'm not sure about the second MUST.  Perhaps a SHOULD would do?  For 
example, consider if someone specified a locator,identifier separation 
mechanisms which would use two IPv6 addresses.  Identifiers would be from 
3000::/4 and the rest would be as before.  The above wording as I read it 
would prevent the allocation of 3000::/4.

Editorial:

   This document is intended to obsolete RFC 2471, "IPv6 Testing Address
   Allocation", December, 1998.  RFC 2471 will become historic.

==> I'm not sure of the process issue, but I'm not sure if obseleting 
means moving the obsoleted document to historic, right?  If not, these two 
requested actions should be more clearly separated.

   format, [TEST-OLD] was replaced with a new IPv6 testing address
   allocation"

==> add the opening " somewhere

   Regional Internet Registry (RIR), National Internet Registry, or   
   Local Internet Registries (ISPs).

==> all LIR's aren't ISPs.

==> references should be after security considerations
