Title : Connecting IPv6 Islands across IPv4 Clouds with BGP
Author(s) : J. De Clercq
Filename : draft-ooms-v6ops-bgp-tunnel-02.txt
Pages : 9

This document explains how to interconnect IPv6 islands over an
MPLS-enabled IPv4 cloud, including the exchange of IPv6 reachability
information using BGP. The approach requires the edge routers that
are connected to IPv6 islands to be Dual Stack MP-BGP-speaking
routers while the core routers are only required to run IPv4 MPLS.
The hosts in the IPv6 islands can use native IPv6 addresses. The
approach uses MP-BGP over IPv4, relies on identification of the MP-
BGP-speaking edge routers by their IPv4 address and uses IPv4-
signaled MPLS LSPs that don't require any explicit tunnel
configuration.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
