Re: [v6ops] new draft: draft-ietf-v6ops-6204bis

Hi Barbara,
   the main issue we see today  for the DS-Lite deployment is exactly the DS-Lite support on the CPE.
We only have some prototypes CPE's with DS-Lite at the moment and that's why we are struggling to start with a deployment now.
You say you would prefer adding in the document "now" technologies and I understand that, but to me this sounds like a chicken and egg problem because CPE's vendors are reluctant to implement features if they don't have a RFC number.
So coming back to your question about the timeframe for DS-Lite deployment, I would say next year, but in my opinion if we want a deployment for next year we need an RFC now.
Thanks,
Best regards,
Roberta

Hey Roberta,
Could you help us understand the timeframe of DS-Lite (and PCP)? I have
little visibility into DS-Lite deployments. I've been pushing for
DS-Lite support in the 6204bis draft, because I see a lot of interest in
it from European providers; so maybe you're in a better position to know
where it's at. Do you see deployments happening now, a year from now, 2
years from now? I'm trying to "bully" others into making sure we have
something published for technologies being deployed now, by insisting
that the "now" technologies must not be held back by the "next year"
technologies.
Thanks,
Barbara
