[ipv6-wg] RE: [address-policy-wg] IPv6 allocations for 6RD

Hello Ahmed,

Many thanks for forwarding the comparison table.

Temporary solutions are usefull in the transition phase. However, I would
prefere emphasize even in the address allocation mechanism if a solution is
temporary and should go away in long term. Therefore I fully agree with
János, the smallest address space the best in case of 6RD and other
non-real-dual-stack method.
