Version 02 (01 presented in IETF75 Stockholm)

Authors/Contributors: M. Boucadair, C. Jacquenet, JL. Grimault, M. Kassi-Lahlou, P. Levis (France Telecom); D. Cheng (Huawei); Y. Lee ( Comcast)

Further to the comments received during IETF75 softwire session, we present here the main changes from 01 to 02:

– Difference with mesh– Routing considerations (Routing Architecture Example)

RFC5565 Mesh

IPv6 AFBR IPv4AFBRIPv4

– IPv4 tunneling through an IPv6-only backbone

– Interconnection function at the backbone's edge routers called AFBR

– All AFBRs exchange i-BGP routes

– The encapsulation at both sides uses a BGP-distributed route to retrieve the IPv6 destination address of the distant softwire endpoint

Differences with RFC5565

ISP IPv4 Internet

CPE CNDS-lite CGNIPv6 IPv6 ICXF IPv4

– Asymmetry: CGNs, and IPv4 Internet access points. – Interconnection function at each IPv4 Internet access

point called ICXF– All ICXFs exchange i-BGP information, CGNs are not

compelled to participate in the i-BGP exchanges – The encapsulation at both sides is stateless; the IPv6

destination address of the distant softwire endpoint is automatically generated, it embeds the IPv4 destination address of the IPv4 datagram

Conclusion

Towards an IPv6-only ISP network Also suitable for IPv4 Core with IPv4-in-IPv6-in-IPv4 encapsulation This is an alternative to mesh

– IPv4-in-IPv6 encapsulations are stateless– DS-lite CGNs do not need to be i-BGP peers– The communication between DS-lite CGNs uses IPv6 transfer capabilities

Question to the softwire WG

I-D.boucadair-dslite-interco-v4v6 "Deploying Dual-Stack lite in IPv6-only Network" as a Softwire WG document?

– We are requesting the adoption of this document as working group document

Thank You
