Re: [v6ops] draft-ietf-v6ops-mobile-device-profile last call- "harmfully broad"?

[Dave Michaud <[e-mail]>]

Does the charter specifically exclude hosts requirements?

Enabling dual-stack on a cellular network serves no mean if it can't be used.

Transitionning to IPv6-only requires further support from the host side to form a complete solution.

The documents published under v6ops should "serve as useful guides to network
operators and users on possible ways how to deploy IPv6 within their
existing IPv4 networks, as well as in new network installations."

This is exactly what this is. As a LAN administrator, it wouldn't cross my mind to look for an RFC for host requirements because I would have little control anyway. As a cellular operator, the hosts are part of my network and I do have a say on how they operate and it forms part of the overall solution (bullet 4 of the charter). Same would apply from a Cable MSO where the CPEs are integral part of the network.

This is directly in line with the v6ops charter:

The IPv6 Operations Working Group (v6ops) develops guidelines for the
operation of a shared IPv4/IPv6 Internet and provides operational
guidance on how to deploy IPv6 into existing IPv4-only networks,
as well as into new network installations.

The main focus of the v6ops WG is to look at the immediate
deployment issues; more advanced stages of deployment and transition
are a lower priority.

Actually, it isn't, really. The charter is operational guidance for the IPv4/IPv6 Internet. Not host requirements.

In fact, if you look at the numbered list in the charter, the items are "identify operational issues and determine solutions", "identify potential security risks", "identify portions of the specs that can cause operational concerns", and "analyze solutions for deploying IPv6 within network environments". None of those cover this document.
