To support IP mobility, mobile IPv4 was designed for IPv4 network
and the mobility extension for IPv6 has been also drafted. However,
mobile IPv4 and mobile IPv6 are not compatible to each other so
that a mobile IPv4 host can not function properly while it changes
its point of attachment to IPv6 networks and vice versa. The
document specifies an architecture and mechanisms to solve mobility
problems in IPv4 and IPv6 interconnected networks. The solution
presents a dual stack model that implements a new address mapper
on mobile hosts. The address mapper on a mobile host associates the
home address in one protocol such as IPv4 with a care-of-address
in the other protocol, i.e. IPv6. It dispatches IPv4/IPv6 packets
to proper layers of the protocol stack, and provides transparent
services to upper layers regardless of the attached networks.
Therefore, the new architecture facilitates the mobility of hosts
in IPv4 and IPv6 interconnected networks.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
