The IESG has received a request from the Global Routing Operations WG
(grow) to consider the following document:
- 'Issues with Private IP Addressing in the Internet'
<draft-ietf-grow-private-ip-sp-cores-05.txt> as Informational RFC
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-07-17. Exceptionally, comments may be
sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the
beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.
Abstract
The purpose of this document is to provide a discussion of the
potential problems of using private, RFC1918, or non-globally-
routable addressing within the core of an SP network. The discussion
focuses on link addresses and to a small extent loopback addresses.
While many of the issues are well recognised within the ISP
community, there appears to be no document that collectively
describes the issues.
