Thanks Fernando for your review.

Hello, Roque,

Here's some feedback on the aforementioned I-D.

Introduction:

  Most Internet Exchange Points (IXP) work on the Layer 2 level, making
  the adoption of IPv6 an easy task.

I found it hard to parse this sentence:

This document clarifies the impact of IPv6
  on a new or an existing IXP that may or may not fit any particular
  deployment.


I deleted the sentence.


Section 2:

However, some management
  functions require explicit IPv6 support (such as switch management,
  SNMP support and flow analysis exportation) and this should be
  assessed by the IXP operator.

Include a (Informative)  reference to the SNMP spec.

done.


BTW, in this text:

      scenario, participants will typically configure dual stack
      interfaces, although independent port can be an option.

You meant something like "...will typically configure interfaces as
dual-stack, although independent interfaces could be possibly used for
each version of IP"?


correct.


      traffic.  If IXP participants are already using Virtual LAN
      (VLAN) tagging on their routers interfaces that are facing the
      IXP switch,

Rephrase as "If IXP participants are already using Virtual LAN (VLAN)
tagging on those interfaces of their routers that are facing the IXP
switch...."



done.


  Conversely, the dual stack implementation allows a quick and capital
  cost-free start-up for IPv6 support in the IXP, allowing the IXP to

s/dual stack/dual-stack/

Maybe s/capital cost-free/inexpensive/ ?


not the same concept. I rather leave the original sentence.


P.S.: More in the pipeline!


Thanks again.

Roque.


Thanks,
