Subject: [Rserpool] Address types for ASAP and ENRP

Hi!

As described in the ASAP and ENRP drafts (draft-ietf-rserpool-asap-00.txt and 
draft-ietf-rserpool-enrp-00.txt), the support is restricted to IPv4 addresses 
only. Since the underlying protocol will usually be SCTP, which supports 
adresses of different types like IPv4, IPv6, IPX, ..., this is a very 
problematic restriction. I would recommend to replace all IPv4 address fields 
by Type-Length-Value fields as it is used for SCTP. This would also give the 
possibility to specify endpoint addresses of different types, e.g. an IPv4, 
IPv6 and IPX address for a PE.

Best regards

Hi, Thomas,

It is indeed planned to change the address param (as well as many other
fields) to TLV in the next revision. And IPv6 will be supported.
