RE: [v6ops] Last Call: <draft-ietf-v6ops-mobile-device-profile-13.txt> (An Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) Profile for 3GPP Mobile Devices) to Informational RFC

2. I stand by my earlier assessment that this document's requirements are 
over-broad, and in fact so broad as to harm adoption. There may well be 
operators or device implementers that seeing with such a high number of 
requirements may shy away in terror and think that deploying IPv6 in a mobile 
network is an impossibly high amount of work. That said, given that this 
document says clearly that it is not a standard, and that compliance is not 
required, the harm it does will be limited.

There may well be operators and device implementers that see the many 
individual “IPv6” RFCs and shy away. Transitioning technologies are still 
perceived as issues for the network.
If this cross-operator document states what is required on terminals to work in 
all major/predictable IPv6 scenarios, then it is giving such people a view of 
what a “healthy and robust” terminal implementation would consist of. If they 
are able to deliver on these requirements then they can supply a terminal ready 
for all business areas /all operator network scenarios.
(It certainly stops the feedback I’ve had from certain corners “that no other 
operators are asking for IPv6”, and “what you are asking for is a single 
operator roadmap which we won’t do”. That has been the reality here). So I 
don’t see how a consolidated demand-side view from operators who are really 
trying to introduce IPv6  in mobile can harm adoption in any way.

Nick
