It seems risky to "abandon" softwires/behave work without having good
exposure on operators.
It's like we assume that everything transition-related will either
work
fine or won't be needed.
This is one of the most common comments I¹ve gotten so far. I do
think
there¹s operational experience with all of the major transition
technologies, but they¹re all still fairly new.
What would folks think of modifying the statement from:
the IETF will no
longer work on IPv4 technologies, including transition
technologies.
To:
the IETF will no
longer develop new IPv4 technologies, including IPv4-IPv6
transition
technologies.
I like it better. I would suggest « including IPv4 to IPv6 transition
technologies. (to avoid excluding NAT64 and related that are needed for
the next decade…
I¹d like to get across the idea that new development will be in IPv6,
not
IPv4. The IPv4 spec itself won¹t be updated at all (once it¹s
Historic),
but transition technologies could be revised for operational and
security
reasons. Also, I feel pretty strongly (but will listen to consensus)
that
it¹s too late to develop any new transition (or life-extension)
technologies.
I agree, except for v6 to v4 such as NAT64.
Marc.
Also i would to have more information about the draft's effect on
DHCP
and any new options may come out.
What would you like it to say?
Can we stop it with new DHCP (v4) options, and just put them in IPv6?
Do
we need to list all IPv4-specific protocols and technologies and
specify
whether they can be revised?
