	Title		: Softwire Mesh Problem Framework

The Softwires Mesh Problem identifies a requirement for a
   generalized, network-based client IPvX-over-backbone IPvY solution,
   where for the case where X=4 and Y=6, as well as the case where X=6
   and Y=4.  BGP is used to distribute the routing information needed to
   ensure connectivity among the client networks.  Forwarding between
   client networks is done by means of IP or MPLS tunnels, known as
   "softwires".  The solution is largely composed of existing
   technology, in some cases with minor modifications.  This framework
   describes the overall solution, how the components of the solution
   fit together, and specifies those areas in which new or modified
   technology must be developed.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
