RE: new draft on IPv6 in Broadband Networks

["Chip Popoviciu (cpopovic)" <cpopovic@cisco.com>]

John,

This is a well written document. It seems to me that this document
describes in great detail the deployment options summarized in Section
7.2.1 of RFC 4779 (which does covers not only DSL but also Cable and
Ethernet as well)? In writing RFC 4779, we started with the same level
of detail however, the WG thought and we agreed that it was too much
information, especially considering the many types of environments and
deployment options covered. The reader should be able to identify the
details based on the deployment guidelines. If however we think that is
not the case, then a detailed description such as the one in your
document might be valuable. In that case, this might open the door for
similar documents covering each of the other leading broadband access
environments. Besides the detailed description of the proposals in RFC
4779, does this document bring something conceptually new in terms of
deployment options for this access environment? 

Best Regards,
Chip

v6ops folks,

Please review this draft:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-kaippallimalil-v6ops-ipv6-bbne
t-00
.txt

The abstract of the draft is snipped below:

Abstract
This document describes IPv6 link models and their applicability in a
fixed broadband network architecture.  This document also specifies the
addressing and operation of IPv6 in broadband networks.  The scope of
this specification is limited to the operation of IPv6 in a broadband
architecture.  This includes the IPv6 link model, address configuration,
router and neighbor discovery in broadband architecture.

Thanks,
John & Frank
