Besides DHCPv4-based method, PCP is also proposed for lw4o6 IPv4
configuration. According to
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-perreault-softwire-lw4over6-pcp-00, the
provisioning process is the same:
(1) Provision AFTR address by DHCPv6 option;
(2) Provision (IPv4 address + ports) by PCP

Do you mean DHCPv6 in step(1) should be avoided ?

Best Regards,
 Cong
