[ipv6-wg] IPv6 Prefix delegation BCOP version 3 is out...

Hi Ondrej,

I agree with our first proposed change.

However, I think you didn’t got the other one. The IPv4 model is NAT, so the addresses inside the customer network aren’t affected by non-persistent CPE WAN addressing, because internally is not “seen”.

Regards,
Jordi

    Hi,
    
    thanks for the effort put into this document. I have two bugreports:
    
    In section 4.1.1:
    > If we decide to use /127 for each point to point link, then it is also advisable to
    > allocate a /64 for each link and use just one /127 out of it to prevent the Neighbor Discovery
    > exhaustion attack (RFC6583).
    
    My understanding of this sentence is that allocating /64 somehow
    prevents Neighbor Discovery exhaustion attack.
    
    It could be solved by splitting those two pieces of information into two
    separate sentences:
    
    > Using /127 for each point to point link can, on the other hand, prevent the Neighbor Discovery exhaustion attack (RFC6583).
    > To avoid possible renumbering in the future, it is always advisable to allocate a /64 for each link and use just one /127 out of it.
    
    In section 5.1:
    > Bear in mind that end customers with an IPv4 subnet behind their CPE never got
    > “non-persistent” assigned IPv4 prefixes as this would require reconfiguration of all hosts on
    > their network every few hours or days. By contrast, every IPv6 customer gets an IPv6 subnet
    > so it is unnecessary to apply this “IPv4 model” to IPv6.
    
    I don't really understand the last sentence.  Which "IPv4 model" is
    unnecessary to apply to IPv6? The model of static leases?
    
    I would propose something like:
    > 
    > By contrast, every IPv6 customer gets an IPv6 subnet, so keeping customer's IPv6 subnet persistent follows perfectly the "IPv4 model".
    
    
    Cheers,
