RE: Posted a new copy of CPE Rtr draft

["Stark, Barbara" <bs7652@att.com>]

Thanks for this new draft. I have a few comments:
1. The statements around strong hosts in 5.3.2 are confusing to me.
 - I had to go searching for what a strong host is -- perhaps a
reference to RFC 1122 would be useful, if that is the right reference?
 - The statements in the current version (section 5.3.2) are: "The
Unnumbered model is incompatible with the strong host model on the CPE
router. The unnumbered model may be inappropriate for use with certain
deployments where a device that uses the strong host model can operate
as a CPE Router." It's not clear to me just what it is that's
incompatible vs. inappropriate. Could this be clarified a little?

2. Has any thought been given to the role a CPE router should play in
supporting a local domain name scheme? Most routers today do have their
own DNS function, and send their own IP address to LAN hosts as the DNS
server to use. Many people have said (in various places) how undesirable
it will be for people to have to type IPv6 addresses when they're
accessing a particular LAN host, and how nice it would be if all LAN
hosts could be accessed by URLs, with the CPE router providing
resolution. It's been suggested that some form of Dynamic DNS might be
used, for hosts to tell the CPE Router what name they want to use, and
the IP address(es) associated with that name. The problem is that many
forms of Dynamic DNS currently exist, so it isn't really "standard". It
would be nice if there were some standard recommendation for hosts to
create entries in the CPE router DNS function.

3. Please change "DSL Forum" to "Broadband Forum" in the Abstract.  

Thanks,
Barbara

Sorry, we forgot that the -00 submission for I-D's was March 4th, 2009
and thus did not release a draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv6-cpe-router-00.txt.  As
folks may know this draft is a work item of the v6ops WG as of the
Minneapolis IETF during November 2008.  Soon as IETF opens up -00
submission again during the March IETF, we will submit the -00 version
of this draft.  We didn't want to wait any longer to release this new
version so that folks could get a few weeks of review before IETF 74.

Gross items taken care of in this version.

1. Added DS-Lite section to the draft.
2. Added text to cater to Brian Carpenter's comment that the CPE Rtr
should not hard code it's data forwarding table to existing 200::/3
prefix.
3. Added more explanatory text to strong host model portion of the
document to address question raised by Dave Thaler at the mike during
IETF 73.
4. Augmented the Abstract to cater to comments from the mike during IETF
73 as to how other task forces may use this document.
5. Added ND Proxy section catering to comments from Teemu.
