NGTRANS notes and DSTM Status

This is just note on the recent strategies for ngtrans work. Please kill the DSTM drafts that exist now. The designers and implementors of DSTM will build a new specification of DSTM that is complete as it was in the first incantations of DSTM.

We then will do two things is the plan. 1) We will submit as Experimental RFC, and 2) Promote this specification within the vendor and user community with implementation code base reference in the public domain. So we will provide an IETF process for this spec, but at the same time provide implemetation and specification to those wanting to do DSTM for the reasons DSTM exists for early adopter IPv6 users that will transition with the strategy to reduce IPv4 routing backbone immediately on their Intranet environment, to support a dominant IPv6 routing backbone as a first phase IPv6 transition strategy. We have also received superb security issues we will address from mission critical early adopters of IPv6 to make it a more secure transition mechanism than previous incantations of the spec.

I am still figuring out the Experimental RFC process as documented but it will provide a means for some input from the IETF community in some manner is my knowledge currently.
