Re: Automatic Configuration of IPv6-over-IPv4 Tunnels

I proposed a DHCPv4 option for tunnel endpoint discovery in an I-D
about 2 years ago, and the document was widely ignored. Why all of
a sudden this renewed interest? (Asked the other way around, why
was there no interest 2 years ago when the I-D was still active?)

Jordi - I'm a little confused (perhaps by 3GPP versus 3GPP2?). We have a request to fast track a DHCPv6 option for MIPv6 home agent options. I guess that's for 3GPP2, not 3GPP. 3GPP is not using DHCP at all?

Hi Syam,

I think this is an interesting work, and should be continued within DHC WG.

But I'm not sure will fit in the zeroconfiguration requirements, because for example in 3GPP DHCP is not being used.

Anyway, we are already discussing this and will consider the option.

But it could be feasible in ISP scenarios when only the own-ISP customers are the goal for providing a transition service.

Regards,
Jordi
