Dear all,

A new version of the draft taking into account the comments received in Prague (INTAREA and BEHAVE meetings) has been submitted:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-boucadair-intarea-nat-reveal-analysis-02.txt

In particular, a new sub-section has been introduced to clarify the confusions related to privacy concerns.

As stated in the document, the purpose of this document is not to advocate for the practice to inject a HOST_ID but to analyse to what extent these solutions mitigate some of the issues documented in http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-intarea-shared-addressing-issues-05 and to identify the side effects and the viability of the proposed solutions.

The document focuses on IPv4 address sharing (e.g., NAT44, DS-Lite, NAT64) but some issues may be valid for IPv6 too (e.g., hosts sharing the same /64).

We, authors of this document, would like to see this work progress within intarea or behave since these two WG seems to be concerned with these issues. Guidelines from BEHAVE and INTAREA chairs for the appropriate working to host this work are more than welcome.

Questions, comments, suggestions are welcome.

Cheers,
Med
