for mobile-ip6, i don't think there's a requirement to put
care-of address and home address onto the same interface. forwarding
from care-of to home address may not be considered an "output"
in some stacks. therefore, i guess rule (1) should be augmented
to cover other implementation choices. "another node" in the text
looks confusing for me.
=> for mobile IPv6 the source routed packet is not forwarded so rule (1)
doesn't apply. Is it more clear now?
