Re: [Softwires] Comment about draft-dhankins-softwire-tunnel-option
Yes, it seems that FQDN is NOT better thar IPv6 Address of DSlite CGN. A CPE needs two operations (one DHCP, one DNS) to discover CGN too. DHCP has same load distribution function as DNS-based.

The use of FQDN may have several advantages compared to a plain IPv6 address such as enabling DNS-based load distribution among a set of CGN devices. Nevertheless, this should not preclude to define an option to convey a (list) of IPv6 address instead of FQDN. It is up to the service providers to decide whether enclosing an IP address or a FQDN in the ds-lite DHCP option is more appropriate in their contexts. Is there any reason why the draft defines only the FQDN option? Cheers, Med ___ Softwires mailing list Softwires@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/softwires
