Automatic Configuration of IPv6-over-IPv4 Tunnels

[Syam Madanapalli <smpalli@yahoo.com>]

Hello,

We have a draft that propose a DHCPv4 Option for
carrying Tunnel
Informtion, so that the tunnels can be configured
automatically
between the IPv6 clouds seperated by v4 network.
       
The intent of this draft is to provide a solution to
automate tunnel      
end-point configuration for a configured
IPv6-over-IPv4 tunnel. This      
uses a DHCPv4 option to distribute the tunnel
end-point configuration      
information. This is very useful to connect a newly
deployed native      
IPv6 cloud to other existing IPv6 networks using IPv4
backbone as 
well as to connect isolated dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 nodes
to IPv6 clouds
through IPv4 Network.

This draft proposesa DHCP option as well as a
procedure to automate 
the bidirectional tunnel configuration.

I am wondering if this fits into v6ops
zeroconfiguration requirements
for tunnel configuration. Any comments/suggestions
welcome.
