The IESG has received a request from the Softwires WG (softwire) to consider the following document: - 'Gateway Initiated Dual-Stack Lite Deployment' <draft-ietf-softwire-gateway-init-ds-lite-06.txt> as a Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-01-04. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Gateway-Initiated Dual-Stack lite (GI-DS-lite) is a variant of Dual- Stack lite (DS-lite) applicable to certain tunnel-based access architectures. GI-DS-lite extends existing access tunnels beyond the access gateway to an IPv4-IPv4 NAT using softwires with an embedded context identifier that uniquely identifies the end-system the tunneled packets belong to. The access gateway determines which portion of the traffic requires NAT using local policies and sends/ receives this portion to/from this softwire.
