Dear all, 

FWIW, you may find some comments https://github.com/boucadair/IETF-Drafts-Reviews/raw/master/draft-ietf-softwire-mesh-multicast-18-rev%20Med.doc 

I do still think that this document should be positioned as an applicability statement of RFC8114 for the full mesh scenario.

Cheers,
Med

> Abstract:
>    The Internet needs to support IPv4 and IPv6 packets.  Both address
>    families and their related protocol suites support multicast of the
>    single-source and any-source varieties.  During IPv6 transition,
>    there will be scenarios where a backbone network running one IP
>    address family internally (referred to as internal IP or I-IP), while
>    the attached client networks running another IP address family
>    (referred to as external IP or E-IP).  The I-IP backbone should offer
>    both unicast and multicast transit services to the client E-IP
>    networks.
> 
>    Softwire Mesh is a solution providing E-IP unicast and multicast
>    support across an I-IP backbone.  This document describes the
>    mechanism for supporting Internet-style multicast across a set of
>    E-IP and I-IP networks supporting softwire mesh.  We focus on IPv4-
>    over-IPv6 scenario in this document, due to lack of real-world use
>    cases for IPv6-over-IPv4 scenario.
