6bone routes have sometimes provide examples of
    bogus routes who introduced serious operational issues.
    This memo identifies some pathological cases and try to give
    some guidelines how 6bone nodes should handle them.
    This is ongoing work and lots of changes should be made to
    this text. It is only published as a starting point for a
    discussion.
 
    It will cover:
 
    1) link local addresses
 
    2) site local addresses
 
    3) special case addresses: loopback addresses & unspecified
       addresses
 
    4) multicast addresses
 
    5) IPv4-mapped addresses
 
    6) IPv4-compatible addresses
 
    7) Yet undefined unicast addresses (from a different /3 prefix)
 
    8) default routes
 
    9) aggregation issues
 
   10) tunnel issues

NOTE:	The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
