Hi Woj, The text in Qi's proposal is explicit about what is meant by complete independence between IPv4 and IPv6 addressing: "the IPv6 prefix does not embed an IPv4 address and/or port set)". The text is about IPv6 prefix assigned to the CPE; that prefix does not embed an IPv4 address nor a port set.
This is a trivial point IMHO. Cheers, Med De : Softwires [mailto:[email protected]] De la part de Wojciech Dec Envoyé : mercredi 12 mars 2014 10:26 À : Qi Sun Cc : Softwires-wg WG Objet : Re: [Softwires] Proposed text that describes lw4o6 and map-e Hi Qi, thanks, but I'd rather stick with the text that we proposed and (lengthily) discussed at the meeting, i.e.: "Lightweight 4over6 provides a solution for a hub-and-spoke softwire architecture only, where the lwAFTR maintains (softwire) state for each subscriber. [I-D.ietf-softwire-map] offers a means for reducing the amount of such state by using algorithmic IPv4 to IPv6 address mappings to create aggregate rules. This also gives the option of direct meshed IPv4 connectivity between subscribers." Note: Your text is different to the above, and claims "complete independence" which is not accurate in view of the fact that lw46 DOES embed the IPv4 address in the IPv6 address. In terms of embedding stuff in the "prefix part" (i.e. the top /64), both solutions allow "complete prefix independence", so that's a null point. Regards, Wojciech.

The two points that are requested to be in the text: * MAP-E achieves aggregated rules * MAP-E does mesh Here is the proposal: In lw4o6 draft, section of Introduction: Lightweight 4over6 provides a solution with complete independence of IPv4 and IPv6 addressing (i.e., the IPv6 prefix does not embed an IPv4 address and/or port set). This is accomplished by maintaining state for each softwire (per-subscriber state) in the lwAFTR and using a hub-and-spoke architecture whereby all traffic traverse the lwAFTR. [I-D.ietf-softwire- map] offers a means for reducing the amount of such state by using algorithmic IPv4 to IPv6 address mappings to create aggregate rules. This also gives the option of direct, meshed IPv4 connectivity between subscribers. In MAP-E draft, section of Introduction: MAP-E offers a means for reducing the amount state held in the BR by using algorithmic IPv4 to IPv6 address mappings to create aggregate rules. This also gives the option of direct, meshed IPv4 connectivity between subscribers. Lightweight 4over6 [I-D.ietf-softwire-lw4over6] provides a solution with complete independence of IPv4 and IPv6 addressing (i.e., the IPv6 prefix does not embed an IPv4 address and/or port set). This is accomplished by maintaining state for each softwire (per-subscriber state) in the lwAFTR and using a hub-and-spoke architecture whereby all traffic traverse the lwAFTR. The above text has been agreed by the lw4over6 co-authors. @Woj, could you please see if the the proposal resolves your concern? Thanks! Best Regards, Qi
