Dear Alvaro,
Thank you for your detailed comments,
(1) §5.4 mentions an "IPv4-Embedded IPv6 Virtual Source Address Format". Even
though source address mapping had just been discussed (§5.3), it wasn't clear
right away that you were talking about the same thing. Maybe it was the name
used ("IPv4-Embedded IPv6 Virtual Source Address Format"), which doesn't show
up anywhere else. Putting a note in §5.3 about the name would be nice.
We modified the name to be ""IPv4-Embedded IPv6 Source Address Format"
[RFC6052].
(2) §5.4: "...every AFBR MUST announce the address of one of its E-IPv4
interfaces in the "v4" field..." Please put a reference here to rfc6052 (so
it's easy to remember where that field came from).
We added a reference here.
(3) §6.4: "According to [RFC7761], it SHOULD propagate..." That SHOULD is out
of place because it is not normative in this document. Either change it to
'should', or quote the text.
We change it to “should”.
(4) §6.4: Several SHOULDs are used in this section. In general, are there
cases where it's ok to not follow the specification? For example, "When RP'
receives this encapsulated message, it SHOULD decapsulate..." -- are there
cases where the RP' wouldn't decapsulate. IOW, why not use MUST instead?
We change it to “MUST”.
(5) §6.4: "...so RP' SHOULD NOT simply process this message as specified in
[RFC7761] on the incoming interface." That "SHOULD NOT" seems to just be a
statement and not have normative value (the normative text comes in the next
paragraph). s/SHOULD NOT/should not
We change the “SHOULD NOT” to “should not”.
Best Regards,
Shu Yang
