Please comment on new draft: draft-ietf-v6ops-security-overview-00.txt

Hi.

A new version of this draft (previously draft-savola-v6ops-security-overview) which is now a WG draft is available.

Please let us have any comments asap - we intend to produce another new version incorporating any comments prior to IETF-63.

This version incorporates a number of additional points contributed by SUZUKI Shinsuke for the Japan IPv6 Promotional Council as well as deal of updated wording. We are particularly interested on views of how we should proceed on the subject of ICMPv6 filtering in firewalls.

Thanks,
Elwyn Davies for the authors

	Title		: IPv6 Transition/Co-existence Security Considerations

The transition from a pure IPv4 network to a network where IPv4 and
  IPv6 co-exist brings a number of extra security considerations that
  need to be taken into account when deploying IPv6 and operating the
  dual-protocol network and the associated transition mechanisms.  This
  document attempts to give an overview of the various issues grouped
  into three categories:
  o  issues due to the IPv6 protocol itself,
  o  issues due to transition mechanisms, and
  o  issues due to IPv6 deployment.

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.
