Hi, Remi, Agree. I only mean that for some extreme use cases where higher priority user would like to apply for more ports. But in the foreseeable future, I also think that two customer classes would be enough. Thanks. On Mon, Aug 1, 2011 at 11:53 PM, Rémi Després despres.r...@laposte.netwrote:

You are right. The current 'draft-cui-softwire-host-4over6' describes how a server is provisioned a public IPv4 address over an IPv6-only network. IPv4 address sharing wasn't discussed in the draft. On 7/30/11 9:57 AM, Satoru Matsushima satoru.matsush...@gmail.com wrote: AFAIK, the

Actually, Orange Lab did some tests on A+P. They published the results in v6ops: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-deng-v6ops-aplusp-experiment-results-01 In their tests, bittorrent seems use most ports (200). Other public apps use no more than 100 ports. For a family of 5, I think 2000 ports

Hi Gang, Before making such comparison (of course it should be as fair as possible), I think we need to state what solution space we are targeting and what category mode we should take care. If I understand correctly, I would paraphrase as following categories. a) Stateful+Dynamic port sets:

Dear all, Dave rightly expresses in the Softwire meeting the need to separate/clarify discussion about: - Stateless vs stateful – Static vs dynamic port sets The need to clarify is IMHO even larger than that. I therefore worked out a way to present the range of solutions to be compared, with
