Hi Authors,

I have a question when I read  https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dawra-idr-srv6-vpn-05#section-3.1 : Network Address of Next Hop = IPv6 address of the egress PE.

If the network is a V4/V6 dual stack network, can the Network Address of Next Hop be an IPv4 address of the egress PE?

Thanks,
Cheng
