Re: [v6ops] new draft: draft-ietf-v6ops-6204bis

Dear Med,

Sure, I do understand the need.  However, if say Windows hosts from Microsoft do not support a PCP client, then the IPv6 CE router has no client PCP request to proxy/serve to the SP CGN.  So is the CE router sniffing all unicast packets and inspecting ports in the packets to initiate PCP client requests from the CGN?  A use case would be good to articulate.  We will not forget during IESG review.  It's a sentence to add to the IPv6 CE router document such as "The IPv6 CE router SHOULD/MUST support a PCP Proxy/server on LAN interface(s) and a PCP Client in the WAN interface."  But the PCP base document needs to become a RFC ASAP.  Even if we add a normative reference to the PCP-base I-D in the rfc6204bis document, the rfc6204bis will stall in the RFC Editor Queue waiting for PCP-base to become an RFC. I have guidance from the Chairs to try and send the rfc6204bis document to the IESG ASAP.

Regards,

Hemant

Dear Hemant,

Because we have the same pressure at the PCP front, including the PCP-requirements in the 6204bis is more safe IMHO. There is a risk to forget inserting appropriate text during the IESG review. 

Cheers,
Med

Mohamed,

Thanks for your feedback.  Please see this message I sent earlier on the PCP subject.

http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/v6ops/current/msg10643.html

Fred as Chair has one suggestion.  During the IESG stage for the rfc6204bis document, we can consider adding PCP if PCP becomes an RFC by that timeframe.   The IPv6 CE router document has its hands tied.  I would work with the PCP and PCP proxy folks to get them to be RFC's ASAP.

Regards,

Hemant

Dear Fred, all,

As part of our DS-Lite deployment, PCP is a requirements for us. I strongly support including PCP in 6204bis.

Note that PCP is not only about IPv4 service continuity but also about IPv6... 

Cheers,
Med
