Hi Woj / Senthil,

Putting the other discussions to the side for a moment, can we tackle the fragmentation text you proposed as this should be easily resolvable?

What about the following wording, tweaked after reading RFC6888 (Common Reqs for CGNs), replacing Section 5.2:
---
For TCP and UDP traffic the NAPT44 implemented in the lwB4 SHOULD conform with the behaviour and best current practices documented in
[RFC4787], [RFC508], and [RFC5382]. If the lwB4 supports DCCP, then the requirements in [RFC5597] SHOULD be implemented.

The NAPT44 in the lwB4 MUST implement ICMP message handling behaviour conforming to the best current practice documented in [RFC5508]
If the lwB4 receives an ICMP message without the ICMP identifier field for errors detected inside the IPv6 tunnel, the node should relay
the ICMP error message to the original source (the lwAFTR).

This behaviour SHOULD be implemented conforming to the section 8 of [RFC2473].

@Senthil, as this is a change to the wording previously agreed, could you let me know if you’re OK with the proposed new text?

Cheers,
Ian
