I have reviewed this document as part of the security directorate's 
ongoing effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the 
IESG.  These comments were written primarily for the benefit of the 
security area directors. Document editors and WG chairs should treat 
these comments just like any other last call comments.


I believe this document (draft-ietf-softwire-dslite-deployment) has an 
adequate security considerations section and the main security risks are 
sufficiently described for an informational "deployment considerations" RFC.

COMMENTS:
section 2.6:
"Internet hosts such as servers must no longer rely solely on IP address 
to identify an abused user."
Don't you mean here: "... an abusive user."
and again in the next sentence "...to identify an abused user..." should 
be "...to identify an abusive user".

Nits:
- section 1: Overview
third sentence: first mention of "softwire" may require a reference

- section 2.5, last paragraph:
s/Depedning on the rate of NAT table changes/Depending on the rate of 
NAT table changes

Best regards, Tobias
