Re: [BEHAVE] I-D Action:draft-ietf-behave-v6v4-xlate-06.txt

Hi Xing,
My preference is to have an example flow in this document. It helps to visualize and understand. I really don’t understand why it does not belong  
in this draft. 

Thanks
Senthil

Hi， Senthil,

Thanks for your reply.

Comparing version 05 and version 06
(http://tools.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-ietf-behave-v6v4-xlate-06.txt).
In version 05 section 1.3 we have cited

"An implementation example of the stateless translation is summarized in [I-D.xli-behave-ivi]. "

However, according to the comments we received from the reviewers, we deleted this sentence. If you think this helps the explanation, we can add it back.

For a complete example flow, we think xlate may not be the right place to do so, since the example flow will mainly present the address translation between IPv4 and IPv6 and the address translation is defined in address-format document, not xlate.

What should we do?

Regards,

xing

> (3) Handling of nested ICMP error messages.
> Conclusion: This process SHOULD stop at first embedded header and drop the packet if it contains more.

> (4) Translating pointer in Parameter Problem
> Conclusion: Move Appendix 1 to sections 2.3 and 3.2 of the xlate-05.
> Remove ambiguous by setting the pointer value to the first octet of the specific field if that field contains multiple octets.
>
> (5) What MUST/SHOULD a translator do if the derivation fails for a source address?
> Conclusion: Translator drops the packet which contains illegal source address.
>
> (6) How to deal with ICMP packets coming from IPv6 addresses that aren't IPv4-translatable?
> Conclusion: In this case, the translator can ether do stateful translation or map them to an IPv4 address block as a holder for all non IPv4-translatable IPv6 addresses.

> (7) Other technical and editorial comments We have updated the document based on the suggestions.
>
> We also combined sections 2.2 and 2.6 of the xlate-05, since IPv4 UDP with checksum zero is a special case of Transport-layer Header Translation.
>
> A general question: Should we add the terminology section in each document (for example in xlate)? Or list all terminologies in the framework document (as the current framework does)?
>
> Do we have rough consensus for the above issues? Are there any other issues?
