Re: I-D ACTION:draft-baker-v6ops-end2end-00.txt
Fred,
A few comments (mostly nits).
1. This is the first time I have seen a draft that refers to it's self as a
note ( in the abstract and introduction), this seems like the wrong word.
2. In the last sentence of section 2.1 it reads:
"IPv4, there is at minimum IPv4 connectivity",
I recommend it read:
"IPv4, there is at a minimum IPv4 connectivity"
3. In the last sentence of section 3 it reads:
' "A satisfactory solution", it could be said, "contains no unnecessary
complexity", and "first, does no harm." '
This seems a little confusing, as the one with first is second or last. It
may be confusing for non-native English speakers.
4. In section 3.1, in the third paragraph ("If the central IPv4 networks are
providing the"), is this referring to the backbone or interconnection points
(like the public MAE (east/west) Internet Exchange or any of the hundreds of
private ones)? Are there any drafts that talk about converting the backbones
or interconnection points to IPv6 using any of the methods used (tunnel
broker, etc) or are they all end network based (like Tredeo, etc). If not
then this or another one might help solve some of the problems you are
discussing.
For example MAE (run by MCI http://www.mae.net/svc/mae-ipv6.htm) states:
IPv6 and IPv6 peering services reside on the same level 2 exchange
switch fabric. IPv6 is
transparent to the switching platform and the access type (ATM, Frame,
or GigE), and the
connections are supported by PeerMaker. Customers may choose to use a
separate port for
IPv6 or share the same port among IPv6 and IPv4 connections. The service
supports native,
dual-stack, tunneling connections configurations.
Important
IPv6 is not supported for interworked connections between a GigE port
and either a Frame
or ATM port.
Please note that they support tunneling, but do not say which type (just as
you describe).
