Fred,

What types of discussions will you be censoring ?

Will people be allowed to discuss how to map
47-bit IPv8 addresses into the 128-bit IPv6 address
fields ?

Should we just use the right-most 48 bits as follows ?

1GGG TTTT SSSS SSSS AAAA AAAA AAAA AAAA AAAA AAAA AAAA AAAA

G - Galaxy
T - TOS
S - StarGate
A - IPv4-like Address

Can we sell NIC cards with this addressing loaded into the
MAC address field ? Will that be OK with you and CISCO ?
