Re: [Diffserv-interest] diffserv and IPv6

IPv4 and IPv6. It should also be able to cross over
an IPv4/IPv6 translator transparently. There is no document
on this topic because there is nothing to say!

N.B. diffserv list deleted. Please don't cross-post unnecessarily-
it just fills up >2000 inboxes.
