Hi Mark,

Thanks for the clarification. 

When I looked at the looping issues in sec11. It is a little hard for me to 
understand how such attack launched. I can hardly find looping related 
discussions between the last 2 meetings in the mailist. I downloaded
your presentation, but the attack illustration pages are broken (I am not
sure it is because the original one online was broken or my pdf software
has a compatibility problem). Could you send me a copy? 

Specifically, it is not clear about the sentence2, para3, sec11

                                              If the attacker constructs the 
packet
   accordingly, and can inject a packet with an IPv6 source address that
   looks as if it originates from within the 6rd domain of the second
                                                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   border relay, [...]
   ^^^^^^^

Did you mean the 6rd domain the second border relay is serving? Does
the second border relay serve the same domain as the first BR? (since
a domain allows for multiple BRs, IMO)

BTW, is it OK to define 6rd domain in sec3? I saw this term everywhere.
Or you think the definition is too obvious to be explicitly stated?

Thanks,
washam
