The changes in this version are aimed at addressing the comments raised during the previous meeting about running IPv6 on top of an IPv4 MPLS network.
The new text clarifies that today it is possible to use 6PE mechanism to carry IPv6 over MPLS. However this approach does not help with the IPv4 depletion problem, as it still requires IPv4 addresses on the network nodes hence it does not apply to an IPv6 only network.

This draft is a work item of the Source Packet Routing in Networking Working Group of the IETF. Title : IPv6 SPRING Use Cases Authors : John Brzozowski John Leddy Ida Leung Stefano Previdi Mark Townsley Christian Martin Clarence Filsfils Roberta Maglione Filename : draft-ietf-spring-ipv6-use-cases-02.txt Pages : 13 Date : 2014-10-27 Abstract: Source Packet Routing in Networking (SPRING) architecture leverages the source routing paradigm. A node steers a packet through a controlled set of instructions, called segments, by prepending the packet with SPRING header. A segment can represent any instruction, topological or service-based. A segment can have a local semantic to the SPRING node or global within the SPRING domain. SPRING allows to enforce a flow through any topological path and service chain while maintaining per-flow state only at the ingress node to the SPRING domain. The objective of this document is to illustrate some use cases that need to be taken into account by the Source Packet Routing in Networking (SPRING) architecture.
