Indeed, 6rd is targeted to ISPs who have the ability to specify the residential gateway's functionality. This certainly does not apply to all ISP offerings, but it does apply to quite a few. As Remi points out, he and I (and others) have been working together recently on a new 6rd spec which includes some of the things discussed here (DHCP options, etc). Current plan is to have that out in the next week or so. - Mark Templin, Fred L wrote: > Remi, > > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Rémi Després [mailto:remi.despres@free.fr] >> Sent: Tuesday, May 19, 2009 2:19 AM >> To: Templin, Fred L >> Cc: Sheng Jiang; v6ops@ops.ietf.org; guoseu@huawei.com; brian.e.carpenter@gmail.com; Fleischman, >> Eric; Russert, Steven W >> Subject: Re: New Version Notification for draft-jiang-v6ops-incremental-cgn >> >> Templin, Fred L - le (m/j/a) 5/14/09 5:17 PM: >> >>> Dear authors, >>> >>> The document is clean and concise, which is appreciated. >>> However, section 3.2 seems to be showing preference >>> toward a particular tunneling technology, and I'd like >>> to understand that better. >>> >> As explained in the 6rd draft (soon to become an RFC), 6rd solves the >> major problem of 6to4: the lack of guarantee that paths exist between >> all IPv6 sites and all 6to4 sites, and that these paths have ISP >> controlled QoS. >> > > Yes, so is VET soon to become an RFC.
