Hi!
I'm happy to announce a new version of our draft "Minimum IPv6 Functionality for a Cellular Host". This draft will become a -00 wg document for IPv6 wg. Before our draft is publicly announced, it is available here: http://www-nrc.nokia.com/sua/draft-ietf-ipv6-cellular-host-00.txt Please read the draft remembering that Your comments are appreciated a lot! All questions considering our draft can be sent to the authors and the IPv6 wg mailing list. Best Regards, Juha Wiljakka - - - Minimum IPv6 Functionality for a Cellular Host <draft-ietf-ipv6-cellular-host-00.txt> Abstract As an increasing number of cellular hosts are being connected to the Internet, IPv6 becomes necessary. Examples of such hosts are GPRS, UMTS, and CDMA2000 terminals. Standardization organizations are also making IPv6 mandatory in their newest specifications, such as the IP multimedia terminals specified for UMTS. However, the concept of IPv6 covers many aspects, numerous RFCs, a number of different situations, and is also partly still evolving. A rapid adoption of IPv6 is desired for cellular hosts. Yet these terminals vary greatly in terms of their processing capabilities and task orientation. Cellular host software often cannot be upgraded and must still meet tough demands for interoperability with other hosts, the cellular network, and the Internet. For these reasons it is necessary to understand how the IPv6 deployment starts and which parts of IPv6 are necessary under which situations. This document suggests basic IPv6 functionality for cellular hosts, and discusses when parts of the functionality is needed, and under which conditions. -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPng Working Group Mailing List IPng Home Page: http://playground.sun.com/ipng FTP archive: ftp://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng Direct all administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------
