Re: [v6ops] Last Call: <draft-ietf-v6ops-3gpp-eps-03.txt> (IPv6 in 3GPP Evolved Packet System) to Informational RFC

Dear Jouni,

In mobile CPE case, MT and TE are separated. That would need
additional requirements in some particular cases, e.g. dynamic IPv6
address allocation.

According to the 3GPP specification, the UE shall build the link-local
address using the interface identifier provided by the PDN GW upon PDN
connection establishment. However, MT may not be able to transfer the
interface identifier to TE in the CPE cases. The only thing the IP
devices can do is to select the interface identifier by some other
means and then perform Duplicate Address Detection, as specified in
RFC 4862. The PDN GW shall then perform the DAD check based on the
Neighbor Solicitation messages sent by the UE.

Therefore, there are some implementation factors that may change UE
behaviour in the CPE context. IMHO, it would be beneficial to describe
CPE consideration in section 5.3. CPE case has already appeared to be
a valid scenario in 3GPP

Dear Gang,

I would be inclined to say that within the 3GPP scope the client is always
the "UE" and its form factor or the end usage scenario does not really
matter. It does not change the way the UE is expected to behave from the
3GPP system point of view, unless there is a new functional requirement from
3GPP.

Hello Authors,

I think it is worth adding some texts to describe mobile CPE case, in
which CPEs with wireless modem use 3GPP access as uplink.

2011/8/2, The IESG <iesg-secretary(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org>:

The IESG has received a request from the IPv6 Operations WG (v6ops) to
consider the following document:
- 'IPv6 in 3GPP Evolved Packet System'
 <draft-ietf-v6ops-3gpp-eps-03.txt> as an Informational RFC

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org mailing lists by 2011-08-15. Exceptionally, 
comments may be
sent to iesg(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org instead. In either case, please retain the
beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract


  Use of data services in smart phones and broadband services via HSPA
  and HSPA+, in particular Internet services, has increased rapidly and
  operators that have deployed networks based on 3GPP network
  architectures are facing IPv4 address shortages at the Internet
  registries and are feeling a pressure to migrate to IPv6.  This
  document describes the support for IPv6 in 3GPP network
  architectures.
