Technical Summary
This document specifies the IPv4 service continuity requirements for
an IPv6 Customer Edge (CE) router, either provided by the service
provider or by vendors who sell through the retail market.
Specifically, this document extends the "Basic Requirements for IPv6
Customer Edge Routers" (RFC7084) in order to allow the provisioning
of IPv6 transition services for the support of "IPv4 as-a-Service"
(IPv4aaS) by means of new transition mechanisms. The document only
covers transition technologies for delivering IPv4 in IPv6-only
access networks, commonly called "IPv4 as-a-Service" (IPv4aaS).
Working Group Summary
There was broad consensus behind this document and no controversy.
Document Quality
All of the mechanisms have been implemented by multiple vendors. The document shepherd (Ron Bonica) read every word of this document. Coincidentally, he is doing a similar comparison as part of his day job. Therefore, he is testing all but one of the transition mechanisms mentioned in this document in the lab (employer doesn't implement one of the mechanisms.)
I worked closely with the authors to improve the readability, and they have been very responsive in addressing the directorate reviews.
Personnel
Ron Bonica is the Document Shepherd.
