Re: [v6ops] I-D Action: draft-ietf-v6ops-siit-dc-2xlat-00.txt

Hi WG,

The main changes since the previous version are:

- Describe how the translation service could also be implemented as a
  network device rather than a host-centric software agent. This
  facilitates the use of the IPv4-only devices, devices that are
  dual-stack capable but _requrires_ IPv4 network connectivity, and so
  forth. Thanks to Ray Hunter for this idea.
- Because of the above change, the previous «Host Agent» has been
  renamed to «Edge Translator» (because it isn't necessarily
  host-based).
- Add a section explaining how the IPv4 Identification value is only
  carried end-to-end if IPv6 Atomic Fragments are enabled. Thanks to
  Andrew Yourtchenko.
- Add a section describing how an IPv4-only service or device behind an
  Edge Translator could communicate with other services in the data
  centre (possibly also behind another Edge Translator). Thanks to
  Andrew Yourtchenko and Will LIU.

I look forward to your feedback on the updated draft.

Tore
