(Sorry if you have received a duplicate of this message - I had some problems with my e-mail.) George and Charles, FYI, the Internet Draft http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-mccann-mobileip-ipv6mipv4-00.txt was recently submitted and announced on the Mobile IP mailing list. While we are waiting for the security-issues of MIPv6 to be resolved, I find the proposed solution promising. It provides a mechanism for IPv6 mobility that also incorporates AAA functionality. In the long run, the proposed idea can be relevant for IPv4 to IPv6 transition. Their mechanism might be useful to your "Dual Stack Moving" efforts. It is definitely related to my own Dual Stack Mobile IP draft, which I plan to rewrite, simplify and adapt to their proposal. Earlier, we have talked about a framework for dual stack mobility. Perhaps their draft could be a good starting point for that discussion? -- Paal --------------------------------------------------------------------- >From: Pete McCann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: [mobile-ip] IPv6 over Mobile IPv4 >Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2001 17:39:15 -0500 > >Hi, > >We (Pat Calhoun, Tom Hiller, and myself) recently wrote a draft >describing a method for running IPv6 traffic while using Mobile IPv4 >signaling for mobility management and security.
