RE: I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-v6ops-assisted-tunneling-requirements-0 1.txt

["Karen E. Nielsen (AH/LMD)" <karen.e.nielsen@ericsson.com>]

One comment:

The following paragraph of Section 1 should be made clearer,
I think.

"Contrary to automatic tunneling mechanism where the IPv4 address is
   embedded inside the IPv6 address, no special format are imposed on
   the IPv6 address used in assisted tunneling.  Prefix delegation is
   also possible.  As the addressing space used during the transition to
   native remains the same, the customer routing, filtering, accounting
   stay the same, and there is no need to maintain any kind of relay."

If the intended meaning is to say that the IPv6 addresses used during transition
must be usable also when the users has moved to native, this should be made clearer
here as well as in Section 4.1. 

Again if the above is the intended meaning, it is valid of course to note that 
that this preclude mechanisms which rely on special encoding of the underlying
Ipv4 in the Ipv6 addresses.

BR, Karen

Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.

Send a message to:

In the body type:

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org 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
