Hi Woj, Can we resolve this with the following wording change?
Old: 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). New: Lightweight 4over6 is a solution designed specifically for complete independence between IPv6 subnet prefix and IPv4 address with/without CPE v4 address sharing. The complete paragraph with the proposed change would then read: Lightweight 4over6 is a solution designed specifically for complete independence between IPv6 subnet prefix and IPv4 address with/without CPE v4 address sharing. 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. If not, please can you suggest an alternative wording?
