Hi Bob,
Based on your comments and suggestions, we have updated the draft and submitted
a new version. The changes made include,
1) The term of 'Pref6' is added in section 2 as below,
Pref6: Site prefix, Pref6 is a 64 bits subnet prefix (Section 2.5 of
[RFC4291]) to identify one site of a given EVN6 instance
2) The following sentence in section 5.2 is removed.
Link layer broadcast is often used for IPv4 ARP and IPv6 neighbor discovery
with ICMPv6 packet of type NS (type 135) [RFC4861].
3) The editorial error you found has been fixed as well.
Regarding to IID, we think 64 bits IID space is large enough to encoding the
Ethernet Virtual Network information, meanwhile, as I illustrated in the
previous mail, it seems that this does not violate RFC8064.
Thank you again for your comments and suggestions.
Best regards
Chongfeng

Abstract:
This document describes the mechanism of mapping of Ethernet Virtual
Network to IPv6 Underlay for transmission. Unlike the existing
methods, this approach places the Ethernet frames to be transmitted
directly in the payload of IPv6 packets, i.e., L2 over IPv6, and uses
stateless mapping to generate IPv6 source and destination addresses
from the host's MAC addresses, Ethernet Virtual Network identifier
and site prefixes. The IPv6 packets generated in this way carry
Ethernet frames and are routed to the destination site across public
IPv6 network.
