[Idr] Re: Last Call: 'Connecting IPv6 Islands over IPv4 MPLS using IPv6 Provider Edge Routers (6PE)' to Proposed Standard

>How does this interact with softwires?

Sam,

  This protocol fits into more or less the Mesh problem of softwires
(section 3.1 of draft-ietf-softwire-problem-statement).  The problem
statement says:

>   family and the islands are connected via L3VPN of another address
>   family.

And indeed, the draft-ooms document is more or less an application of the
L3VPN technology to the IPv6 address family.

  I don't know what the softwires participants' position is with respect
to this draft, but it predates the softwires work [at least, by that
name] by about 5 years.
