The IESG has no problem with the publication of '4over6 Transit Solution using IP Encapsulation and MP-BGP Extensions' <draft-wu-softwire-4over6-03.txt> as an Experimental RFC. The IESG would also like the IRSG or RFC-Editor to review the comments in the datatracker (https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/pidtracker.cgi?command=view_id&dTag=14287&rfc_flag=0) related to this document and determine whether or not they merit incorporation into the document. Comments may exist in both the ballot and the comment log. The IESG contact person is Ralph Droms. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-wu-softwire-4over6-03.txt The process for such documents is described at http://www.rfc-editor.org/indsubs.html. Thank you, The IESG Secretary Technical Summary This document describes a mechanism for automatic discovery and creation of IPv4 over IPv6 tunnels via extensions to multi- protocol BGP. It is targeted at connecting islands of IPv4 networks across an IPv6-only backbone without the need for a manually configured overlay of tunnels. The mechanisms described in this document have been implemented, tested and deployed on the large research IPv6 network in China. Working Group Summary This document is an independent submission via the RFC Editor. Document Quality 4over6 technology was deployed on CNGI-CERNET2 before the formal proposals in Softwire WG. Therefore, this large scale deployment was a good experiment for the Softwire Mesh Framework and its solutions. This document was deferred for publication as an Experimental RFC after the publication of the Standards Track RFC byt the softwire WG. Now that the RFC has been published, this document can be published. Personnel Ralph Droms (rdroms@cisco.com) is the responsible AD. RFC Editor Note Response #2 from RFC 3932 is appropriate. This work is related to work in the softwire working group, but the relationship does not prevent publication. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
