Dear Med,

As an extension to DS-Lite, Public 4over6 can support intercommunications 
between nodes within the same domain with public IPv4 address assigned. 
However, address sharing transition mechanism can't do that, i.e. two nodes 
sharing the same address aren't able to communicate directly.

What's more, Public 4over6 CE, which uses a full IPv4 address, can work as a 
server that is IPv4-globally reachable by the nodes outside the domain. This is 
of great importance to ICP-side transition. In this case, address sharing is 
not expected. 

In general, there are major differences between pb4o6 and lw4o6. If we put them 
together, some important features (as listed above) may be lost. The mechanism 
can be confused on some functionality, like intercommunications within a domain.

I think public 4over6 is mature enough to move forward.

Best Regards,
Qi
