Chongfeng,

I have a few comments on your draft, ranging from substantive to editorial.

Pref6:   The draft defines this as a global prefix assigned to site.   This is 
a new term not used anywhere else that I can tell.  It would be better to use 
the terminology from RFC4291 than  creating something new.  It’s also not 
defined in the Terminology section of the draft.    

I don’t like the idea of encoding the Ethernet Virtual Network information in 
the IID.   I think this violates RFC8064 "Recommendation on Stable IPv6 
Interface Identifiers”.   Using a new Destination Option would be a better 
approach.   It wouldn’t be creating stable IIDs and wouldn’t be limited to 64 
bits.   

Section 4 Operation:   Should the “IPv6 network” really be “Internet”.   Or 
what does "IPv6 Network” mean?

In the second address diagram in figure 4, , s/Sit/Site/

Section 5.2 Broadcast:   IPv6 doesn’t use Broadcast, it uses Multicast.  The 
text about ND using broadcast is incorrect.   

The draft doesn’t discuss how the information in the mapping table is 
provisioned.

Hope this is helpful.

Bob
