Hi all, The 4rd draft (http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-softwire-4rd-04) describes a solution for providing IPv4 connectivity over IPv6. The draft describes the method for mapping 4rd IPv4 addresses to 4rd IPv6 Addresses. It uses a 4rd specific mark called the V octet in the first 8 bits of the Interface Identifier. There were some concerns raised in softwire about whether such addresses are actually compatible with the IPv6 addressing architecture. Whether this is actually compatible with the IPv6 addressing architecture is outside the scope of the softwire wg. Hence we would like to hear the 6man wg's perspective on this. I would like to request the wg to please go over the NOTE in Section 4.5 page 18, which explains the issue, and over IANA Considerations Section 6, and chime in on whether this is acceptable from a 6man perspective.
