Hi Jordi,

I went to https://chat.mistral.ai/chat and asked it: "how are 
citations used in documents?"  One of the reasons it given for using 
citations was to back up claims or recommendations.

I was curious about the gaming problem which you commented on in a 
previous email.  I did a quick search on https://duckduckgo.com/ One 
of the search results was to a whitepaper from Huawei [1].  An 
operator was using SRv6+ slicing technology to increase service 
revenue according to the whitepaper.  The whitepaper stated that 
there was a proof of concept.  There wasn't any citation to back that 
claim.  I did another search to find out whether the slicing 
technology was in commercial use.  There wasn't any search results 
with relevant information.  My conclusion is that the slicing 
technology did not increase service revenue in that market.  It may 
be different in other markets.

I read a 2026 situational analysis report written by Masterspace 
Solutions Ltd.  It stated that "IPv6 is globally routable and 
permanently reveals device location and network affiliation creating 
security concerns".  There wasn't any citation to back that claim.
