Subject:
Is Scope working well?
Beside the discussion related to "politicalness", I have a question on the idea of "scope" in Mohta san's darft. The practicalness of scoped addresses is shown only by the proliferation of private address. We sometimes see the prefixes for the provate address space in the global internet routing table. This indicate us that complete prevention of the "leak" is not so easy otherwise implemented as the default configurations of many router implementations. Is there any good tool to declare a scope? Second point is the dynamicness of the "scope". I feel the scope Mohta san proposing is relatively static from the word "administratvely". Is this interpretation correct? Last point I don't agree with is: operators of an AS adjacent to the root servers' AS be fully responsible to the operation of the root servers, (at the end of section 2) I understand the operators of adjacent ASes should have some degree of responsibility on the transit service to/from the root server AS. The responsibility of the operation of a root server should be on the operators of the root server. -- Akira Kato
