I agree on that at least a draft and work towards a final doc.

But with QoS, Congestion Control and maximum bandwidth
utilisation, being crucial aspects of IPng, has enough R&D
/testing
been done to specifically  produce the heathly crop as you
mentioned ? Take for example At the ATM layer, during a
Crankback (after flowspec have  been negoiated between
2 IPv6 nodes), what happens if the  Crankback occurs
to a IPv4 node ??  Well I'm trying to figure this out .. hence
the basic question for Requirments for IPv6 routers !!

However, I also understand that my line of thinking maybe
off track :))
