The IESG has received a request from the Softwires WG (softwire) to consider the following document: - 'RADIUS Attribute for 6rd' <draft-ietf-softwire-6rd-radius-attrib-07.txt> as 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 2012-11-29. 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 IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6rd) is one of the most popular methods to provide both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity services simultaneously during the IPv4/IPv6 co-existing period. The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) 6rd option has been defined to configure 6rd Customer Edge (CE). However, in many networks, the configuration information may be stored in Authentication Authorization and Accounting (AAA) servers while user configuration is mainly from Broadband Network Gateway (BNG) through DHCP protocol. This document defines a Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) attribute that carries 6rd configuration information from AAA server to BNG. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-softwire-6rd-radius-attrib/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-softwire-6rd-radius-attrib/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
