Hi Med,

In line with [TT2].

Best Regards,

[SNIP]

[Med] Using the same mPrefix64 for both encap and translation is not 
recommended in draft-boucadair-* as you can read in the following excerpt:

"   IPv4-IPv6 encapsulator and translator may be embedded in the same
   device or even implemented with the same software module.  In order
   to help the function whether an encapsulated IPv6 multicast packets
   or translated IPv6 ones are to be transferred.  It was tempting to
   define an S-bit for that purpose but this choice has been abandoned
   in favor of the recommendation to use distinct MPREFIX64 for each
   scheme."

I don't see an issue here. 

[TT2] Since encapsulation and translation use different mPrefix64, it is not an 
issue in draft-qin-* now. But draft-boucadair-* does not specify how to make 
mPrefix64 different for encapsulation and translation. Do you think it is 
needed?

Med: I confirm this is not an issue for draft-qin. In draft-boucadair, we can 
for sure clarify more and state "the operator of the v4/v6 multicast 
intercinnection nodes configures two distinct mPREFIX64, ..."
