[Mip4] Prefix Alloc with DHCPv6-PD? Re: AD review of mip4-dsmipv4

["George Tsirtsis" <tsirtsis at googlemail.com>]

I have one more question/suggestion as I am in the process of editing
the draft to incorporate Jari's earlier comments.

Section 4.6. "Dynamic IPv6 Prefix allocation", introduces a mechanism
for IPv6 prefix allocation using MIPv4 extension; similar to IPv4 HoA
address allocation. In light of the decision made recently in MEXT,
however, to do IPv6 Prefix allocation in NEMOv6, using DHCPv6-Prefix
Delegation (draft-ietf-mext-nemo-pd-00), should we change this?

I think it is the right thing to do. In this case we would only have
to indicate that DHCPv6 PD runs over the IPv4 HoA to HA tunnel, and
then when the IPv6 prefix is allocated, and assuming explicit mode, it
has to be registered via the extensions defined in this spec. I assume
that we can point directly to the DHCPv6 PD RFC and we do not need to
depend on draft-ietf-mext-nemo-pd.

Thoughts?
