In the last slot of the thursday ipng session of the Dan Diego
IETF meeting, we give a short talk on "LIN6: Mobility Support
in IPv6 based on End-to-End Communication Model".
i-d is available at the following URL:

LIN6 has several advantages in comparison with Mobile IPv6 as
follows:
o LIN6 has no header overhead because it does not use any extension
headers of IPv6 while Mobile IPv6 uses the Destination Options
Header for the Home Address Option and the Routing Header.
o LIN6 is more fault tolerant than Mobile IPv6. In Mobile IPv6, the
Home Agent cannot be replicated to the subnet other than the home
link of the mobile node. LIN6 introduces the Mapping Agent which
can be replicated anywhere in the Internet.
o LIN6 keeps end-to-end communication model, that is, LIN6 does not
use any packet intercepter/forwarder such as the Home Agent of
Mobile IPv6. There is no tunneling in LIN6.
