RE: RFC4214(bis)



 Fred,

The softwires wg is looking at two frameworks, of for the "Hub and
Spoke" case
and the "Mesh" case, as described in the softwire problem statement:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-softwire-problem-statemen
t-03.txt
Isatap was briefly considered but does not fit any of those two cases.
The softwires wg chose L2TP for "Hub and Spoke" and
a BGP extension (tunnel safi) for "Mesh".
