A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Global Routing Operations Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Embedding Globally Routable Internet Addresses Considered Harmful
Author(s) : D. Plonka
Filename : draft-ietf-grow-embed-addr-00.txt
Pages : 15
Date : 2003-12-3
Vendors of consumer electronics and network gear have produced and
sold hundreds of thousands of Internet hosts with globally routable
Internet Protocol addresses embedded within their products' firmware.
These products are now in operation world-wide and primarily include,
but are not necessarily limited to, low-cost routers and middleboxes
for personal or residential use.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-grow-embed-addr-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
