Hiya, Sorry, I don't mean to be disruptive but I'm not at a point where I feel that me offering charter text is the right way to go - I clearly don't understand the proposal well enough for that. On 03/06/2022 21:56, Joel Halpern wrote:
If you want to suggest some edits to make clear that we are talking about prefixes, please do so.

I'd still be interested in an answer to the above btw, Cheers, S. PS: Dealing in prefixes may not of course make much of a difference as ISPs may hand out /56's which is the case for me. One'd also have to consider VPNs of various flavours maybe before understanding the privacy impacts. So, just to be clear, I'm not saying "addresses bad, prefixes good":-)
Ta, S.they will be using as source address for packets they will be forwarding. These are not the individual addresses of users. And, conversely, this is exactly the information one needs to perform source address spoof prevention. (Whether the proposed / expected mechanisms will actually provide improved information is part of what has to be determined.)Further, we have specified that the problem and requirements will be spelled out before any solutions are examined by the working group. So we can confirm that there is indeed a problem to solve.This is not "extend SAVI individual host registrations into ISPs." I have no problem including privacy in the analysis. But I am much less concerned than I was (and yes Stephen, I did take your concerns seriously) when we did the SAVI work.Yours, Joel
