Hi Tore,

I am ok with your suggestions how to address my issues. And, if people are ok with the cross-reference (Q2_1) I will not slow down the progress of the draft :)

Thanks!

Regards,

Christer

Hello Christer, and thank you very much for your feedback.

Ack.

I qualified these statements as follows:

  [...] the legacy users' IPv4 addresses remain visible to the nodes and
  applications located in the IPv6 network.

  [...] the end-user's IPv4 source address remains available to the
  application located in the IPv6 network,

OK. (I had just copied this formulation from another draft from another
author.)

The term "ER" is used in sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and Figure 4 at least, so I think the definition needs to stay in section 2.

The changes I made thanks to your review are shown here:

https://github.com/toreanderson/ietf/commit/782d337d32e13a86210d5801a758320371130ce1

Please have a look and let me know if you're happy with this, or if I should more adjustments are desired.

Best regards,
Tore Anderson
