Hi Woj, Removing the modal verb has left us with a rather hefty sentence:
…..allows for the reduction of the amount of centralised state by means of rules expressing an algorithmic address mapping relationship between the IPv6 subnet prefix and IPv4 address. It would be clearer as two: ….allows for a reduction of the amount of centralised state using rules to express IPv4/IPv6 address mappings. This introduces an algorithmic relationship between the IPv6 subnet and IPv4 address.

Would however prefer to remove the modal verb however (which leads to a few changes): Lightweight 4over6 is a solution designed specifically for complete independence between IPv6 subnet prefix and IPv4 address with or without IPv4 address sharing. This is accomplished by maintaining state for each softwire (per-subscriber state) in the central lwAFTR and a hub-and-spoke forwarding architecture. [I-D.ietf-softwire-map] also offers these capabilities or, alternatively, allows for the reduction of the amount of centralised state by means of rules expressing an algorithmic address mapping relationship between the IPv6 subnet prefix and IPv4 address. This relationship also allows the option of direct, meshed connectivity between users. Cheers, Wojciech.

What about the following (with some other slight language cleanups): Lightweight 4over6 is a solution designed specifically for complete independence between IPv6 subnet prefix and IPv4 address with or without IPv4 address sharing. This is accomplished by maintaining state for each softwire (per-subscriber state) in the central lwAFTR and a hub-and-spoke forwarding architecture.

It doesn't use a mapping algorithm to map between IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, which was the point that Qi expressed in the text he sent out this morning. Text I (re)proposed said it all: Lightweight 4over6 is a solution designed specifically for complete independence between IPv6 subnet prefix and IPv4 address with or without IPv4 address sharing. This is accomplished by maintaining state for each softwire (per-subscriber state) in the lwAFTR and a hub-and-spoke forwarding architecture. [I-D.ietf-softwire-map] offers the same capabilities along with means for reducing the amount of such state using algorithmic address mapping rules, which however introduce a relation between the IPv6 subnet prefix and IPv4 address. This relation also allows optional meshed connectivity between users.
