RE: new draft on IPv6 CPE router available for review
Hi,
Are you interested also to specifically cover
similarly acting cellular phones in this document? If so, I might be able to
contribute text on those aspects if needed.
In 3GPP there is discussion ongoing for supporting DHCPv6
PD for cellulars. I.e. the phone would get IPv6 address statelessly from the
cellular network for its WAN interface, and with DHCPv6 PD it would get prefixes
to be used in local WLAN/Bluetooth PAN/USB/LAN/whatever network. The same
discussion will surely happen in WiMAX Forum and 3GPP2 if it already hasn't. It
would be good if IETF would have a document to offer for those
organizations.
The cellular case would likely be pretty similar to home
deployment (well, mobile home), and the initial configuration would be provided
by the service provider. The user of the cellular of course should not be
required to do any configuration changes whatsoever, although there could be
feature specific UI or web interface (accessible from local network) available.
Service provider would most likely not do any active configuration, but of
course could push updated settings if required (thus in cellular case there
most likely would/should not be need for routing
protocols/MIBs).
Best regards,
Teemu
v6ops folks,
Please review this draft.
The Abstract of the draft is snipped
below.
Abstract
This document recommends
IPv6 behavior for Customer Premises
Equipment (CPE) routers in
Internet-enabled homes and small offices.
Thanks.
