Yuchi,

IMHO doing LPM with the lwAFTR's address is more straightforward than with a "Domain 
v6 prefix".

In addition, I don't see why Ian's proposal cannot cover the case you 
mentioned, the case in which an address out of the prefix domain can be chosen 
as the tunnel endpoint address. If lwB4 has been provisioned with such an 
address, and if this address does have a LPM with lwAFTR's address, lwB4 can 
still use it as the tunnel endpoint address. Please correct me if I'm missing 
anything.

there are two issues here.

1) in the unified CPE context. is there a benefit in having the same algorithm 
to choose the CE tunnel endpoint address?
     are the requirements different?
2) pick the right mechanism for tunnel end point determination. in your above 
scheme you do not have the same flexibility as you have with a provisioned 
prefix selector

I though we had covered one in previous discussions, but there might be 
something I've missed.
are we in agreement on this point? that it is beneficial to use the same 
mechanism for tunnel endpoint address determination on the CE.

cheers,
Ole

I'm a bit surprised to still see the expression "Unified CPE". I thought we had determined during DHCP discussions that MAP-E and LW4o6 are too different to unify very much.
