Hi Stig,
DS-Lite was designed to deliver v4 unicast packets over v6-only network to
v4 host. However when we started thinking about how to deliver multicast
packets in the same network setup, we will have to tunnel all multicast
packets over tunnels. This is very inefficient to use of AFTR. This is the
motivation of dslite-multicast draft. However, you are absolutely right.
This is a solution for tunneling IPv4 multicast through an IPv6-only
network.
I agree that double tunneling is a non-starter, so the draft seems to do
the right thing. But since we seem to agree it is a more general
solution, why not change the title and the text to make it more
generic? You can still say that one of the use-cases is to provide IPv4
multicast for DS-Lite deployments.

I'm a little bit puzzled by how this document talks about DS-Lite.
Isn't this an entirely generic solution for tunneling IPv4 multicast
through an IPv6-only network?
