you don't see it a problem because you reject the common understanding about tunnel as a virtual link, but define the so-called 4rd-tunnel. it has been admitted by your statement that 4rd tunnel is not any tunnel. my understanding here is 4rd tunnel is ACTUALLY another path section of

Hi Authors, For section 5.3, I think 2 things should be explicitly stated. 1. hairpinning should be supported on the 4over6 concentrator 2. when 4-in-6 packets received, the inner ipv4 src ip address should be checked against outter ipv6 src ip to see if they are match. (Actually, this should be

Hi Remi, Thanks for the clarification. Only one response, 3. Fragments. The algorithm proposed in R-9, would have applied to generic NAT generally. Why it is specific to 4rd BR? NATs may have to remember not only destination ports but also source ports. Yes. I agree. A similar algorithm

Hi, Eventually I get a chance to review this version and have some major comments and questions as below. 1. Relationship with MAP, MAP-T, MAP-E. I thought, MAP was expected to be a generic algorithm for stateless mapping IPv4 addresses to IPv6 addresses and vice versa. I thought, MAP would

Hi Remi, Secondly, -04 added NAT64+ parts. If I understood correctly, there are no additional requirements for NAT64 boxes. Well, NAT64 boxes remain what they are. Any host can use BIH to look like an IPv6-only host in the NAT64 although it has a dual stack. But the advantage of 4rd
