Re: [Idr] Working Group Adoption call and IPR Call for draft-xie-idr-mpbgp-extension-4map6-05 (9/26 - 10/10/2023)

Hi Sue and WG:

I support the adoption.

My comments to the questions Sue raised:
1) does the 4map6 attribute help  Operators connect islands of IPv4-only support through IPv6 only core.
--Yes.

2) Does this draft provide technical guidance on how this attribute is formatted and used in BGP?
--Yes.

3) Do you think this is the right direction for To solve this problem?
--Yes.

My Additional comments to the document:
1. To align with draft-ietf-v6ops-framework-md-ipv6only-underlay , “MD database” should be “Mapping rule Database” in my understanding.

2. SAFI/AFI=2/1 should not be the only example in section 3.1.
As stated in abstract: It defines a new BGP path attribute known as the "4map6" to be used in conjunction with the existing AFI/SAFI for IPv4 and IPv6.
My understanding is that, Section 3.1 is describing some “existing AFI/SAFI for IPv4 and IPv6” as following:
IPv4-Unicast(SAFI/AFI=1/1) and VPNv4(SAFI/AFI=128/1) may be proper and preferred examples to be the “existing AFI/SAFI for IPv4”.
IPv6-Unicast(SAFI/AFI=1/2) and VPNv6(SAFI/AFI=128/2) may be additional examples to be the “existing AFI/SAFI for IPv6”.

Thanks,
Jingrong
