>I gave it a second thought and i'm thinking that without port forwarding the chances of needing a firewall for decapsulated IPv4 traffic is low in case of DS->Lite. RFC 4863 describes very nicely the perceived benefits of NAT (which on this case will happen on the AFTR), and since we are not (are we?) including any >reference to port forwarding mechanisms, IPv4 attack vectors to the CPE through >DS-Lite are low (but existent).

If DS-Lite is enabled on the CE router, NAT has to be disabled on the CE router.  If there is no NAT running on the CE router, then port forwarding is not relevant. 

>On the other hand, in the 6rd scenario, there is no (need for) NAT happening on IPv6 traffic on the BR, so an IPv6 firewall for filtering ingress decapsulated >IPv4=>IPv6 traffic on the CPE is surely needed. Maybe, you would like to differentiate those scenarios in your text.

Certainly, we will mull over this suggestion and if we think text needs to be added, we will send out the text soon.

Regards,

Hemant
