Abstract:
This document captures the problem statement for the Softwires Working Group,
which is developing standards for the discovery, control, and encapsulation methods for connecting IPv4
networks across IPv6-only networks as well as IPv6 networks across IPv4-only networks. The standards
will encourage multiple, inter-operable vendor implementations by identifying, and extending where necessary, existing standard
protocols to resolve a selected set of "IPv4/IPv6" and "IPv6/IPv4" transition problems. This document
describes the specific problems ("Hubs and Spokes" and "Mesh") that will be solved by
the standards developed by the Softwires Working Group. Some requirements (and
non-requirements) are also identified to better describe the specific problem scope. This memo
provides information for the Internet community.
