Comments on draft-koodli-ipv6-in-mobile-networks-02.txt



Hi Rajeev,
  My comments on 
Section 3.2 NAT Placement in the mobile networks

This section nicely narrates the story of GI-DS-Lite as the centralized NAT versus DS-Lite as the distributed DS-Lite. It reads nicely but I found in it too much emphasis on billing and accounting aspects while it lacks emphasis on other aspects (more meaty? aspects at least as much as I am interested).

For example, one very important feature of DS-Lite is to have an IPv6-only network thus savings on IPv4 addresses. This is not mentioned.
Next, why currently mobile operators do not have much interest on DS-Lite is not mentioned.

On the centralized NAT or GI-DS-Lite, firstly, the identification of GI-DS-Lite as the centralized NAT approach is very useful because it was not clear reading the GI-DS-Lite draft. 

However, one important aspect of GI-DS-Lite is that it no longer requires an IPv6-only network and therefore no IPv4 address savings which is not mentioned in the draft.

Regards,

Behcet
