Can someone confirm this?
it isn't restricted to only MAP CEs. a BR could also configure the shared IPv4 address. this overlaps with the issue of, should the BR have an IPv4 address that the CE's IPv4 stack could use as an IPv4 next-hop. I think we ended up with no. if you think clarifications in order, please propose text. cheers, Ole _______________________________________________ Softwires mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/softwires
