Aren't most engineers used to the fact that point-to-point links are not broadcast links and therefore the concept of a network/netmask for the interface is somewhat useless? In addition, link-local addressing eliminates many situations where you need to allocate tiny blocks for p2p links. -- Crist J. Clark [email protected] Globalstar Communications (408) 933-4387
