Hi Remi,

My quick comments:
editorial on abstract:
- The 4rd automatic tunneling mechanism makes IPv4 Residual Deployment
   possible via IPv6 networks without maintaining for this per-customer
   states in 4rd-capable nodes (reverse of the IPv6 Rapid Deployment of
   6rd).
remove: for this.
Better still have a sentence like:
 4rd specifies a protocol mechanism to support Pv4  via a
   service provider's (SP's) IPv6 network without maintaining per-customer
   states in 4rd-capable nodes (reverse of the IPv6 Rapid Deployment of
   6rd).
- To cope with the IPv4 address shortage, customers can be
   assigned IPv4 addresses with restricted port sets.

It is not customers but it is CPE or CEs, right?

- 4rd-capable customer nodes can exchange packets of their
   IPv4-only applications via stateful NAT64s that are upgraded to
   support 4rd tunnels (in addition to their IP/ICMP translation of
   RFC6145)
replace "of" with "with"

Technical:

I don't understand NAT64+ discussion in this draft (it has been added
in -04). Why do you need it?
In NAT64, IPv6 packet is not created by CE but by the host with the
help of DNS64.Where is DNS64 in your draft, except for a reference to
RFC 6147 which is a bogus reference.
NAT64 helps IPv6 only hosts to communicate with IPv4 only servers over
an IPv6 network. So it has almost nothing to do with 4rd.

One thing you can do is to say that NAT64 could be colocated with 4rd
BR if Pref64 of NAT is chosen to match 4rd prefix. In that case you
need to add support for RFC6145 stateful packet translation as well as
the NAT state in 4rd BRs. Is this what you would like to do?

Maybe I missed something.

Regards,

Behcet
