Re: [v6ops] Very basic question: What is IPv6 native?

[Alejandro Acosta <[e-mail]>]

Hello Jordi,

  Thanks for this, I was not aware of this draft.  I'm happy the
definition is in a document, hopefully it moves forward in the WG. Hard
to believe so many documents mention "native IPv6" without a clear
definition (well, assumptions are just fine but much better to write it
down)

  So far I like this definition (copy/pasted from your doc):

5.  Native dual-stack

   This can be applied to a host, router, link, network (part), etc.  It
   means that both, IPv4 and IPv6 are configured/used natively (without
   the need of transition mechanisms).


  The part: "without the need of transition mechanisms" imho is the key.

  If you allow me to say something, you can add to your text: "without
the need of transition mechanisms such as encapsulation, protocol
translations and/or packet modifications". Adding this won't hurt.


  Thanks, good luck.


Alejandro,
