The IESG has received a request from the Softwires WG (softwire) to consider the following document: - 'Motivations for Carrier-side Stateless IPv4 over IPv6 Migration Solutions' <draft-ietf-softwire-stateless-4v6-motivation-04.txt> as Informational RFC 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 2012-10-17. 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 IPv4 service continuity is one of the most pressing problems that must be resolved by Service Providers during the IPv6 transition period - especially after the exhaustion of the public IPv4 address space. Current standardization effort that addresses IPv4 service continuity focuses on stateful mechanisms. This document elaborates on the motivations for the need to undertake a companion effort to specify stateless IPv4 over IPv6 approaches. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-softwire-stateless-4v6-motivation/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-softwire-stateless-4v6-motivation/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
