Re: [Softwires] New Version Notification for draft-chen-softwire-4rd-u-comment-00.txt

First, thanks Maoke for publishing this document. 

It is very helpful to qualify 4rd-u that is a new type IPv4-over-IPv6 tunneling variant with several semantics changes. I think that it is very exciting proposal for all IETF participants because they shall be interested into defining new tunneling work. Once that work will have been done, I suppose that all of products of the working group shall be considered, such as RFC6333, ongoing 4over6 work and RFC5512 as BGP signaling to indicate new tunnel type for softwire mesh scenario, when we get the outcome of that work.

I can't wait that exciting future work, but not now.

cheers,
--satoru

> that proposal is basically of a response to people's call for "describing technical concerns in mind" about 4rd-U. commonality and difference is the two sides of the same coin. if we don't understand what makes them exactly different, we are also hard to understand how common they are. this document is purposed in sharing such an understanding and therefore it focuses only on the essential concerns -- the concerns regarding architecture and protocol semantics.
