Re: [v6ops] I-D Action: draft-ietf-v6ops-rfc7084-bis-03.txt

Hi Brian,

Not exactly:

#1. A vanilla CE router that simply support an IPv6 provider, and IPv6 hosts
on directly attached /64 subnets.

#2. IPv6 subnetting and routing on the customer side (by default, supported
by HNCP and BABEL).

#3. IPv4 coexistence (this is “diff” from the actual https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-v6ops-rfc7084-bis/ - either #1 or #2, so it will be just coexistentce or coexistence+HNCP. I will cook it today …)

I still believe that only one document should be enough, that will be #1+2+3 and this one is https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-v6ops-rfc7084-bis/

This was discussed in the list and in the Chicago meeting and I understood we agreed on that … However, if now we don't agree on that (3-4 people voiced against that), then I think we need to choose among #1 OR #2 (those are the 2 ID’s that I submitted yesterday).

So clearly, we need a WG decision if we still agree on what we decided a couple of months ago, or we have now a different view …

Saludos,
Jordi

    Hi Jordi,

    I think you are saying that there are several theoretically independent
    components here:

    #1. A vanilla CE router that simply support an IPv6 provider, and IPv6 hosts
    on directly attached /64 subnets.

    #2. IPv4 coexistence (with multiple possible solutions on the provider side)

    #3. IPv6 subnetting and routing on the customer side (by default, supported
    by HNCP and BABEL).

    You are proposing three drafts, for cases
    #1
    #1+#2
    #1+#3

    You don't have a draft for #1+#2+#3

    Have I understood correctly?

    If yes, we should perhaps discuss whether that's the best document structure.

    Regards
        Brian

If we still want to define this case, shall it be something like “Minimum Requirements for IPv6-only Edge Routers”, and even not considering IPv4 support at all there … as this may be the case for very simple networks that only need to connect a few sensors and nothing else, etc. This is the case for new networks that are being deployed since the start with IPv6-only in mind, and not considering IPv4 support at all.

This may be what we have as our actual “Basic Requirements for IPv6 Customer Edge Routers”.

Enterprise and university networks are also stubs; they offer no transit services. However, they can have a great deal of internal complexity.
