regarding to "is IPsec mandatory" discussion for cellular.
see RFC2460 page 7.
> A full implementation of IPv6 includes implementation of the
> following extension headers:
>
> Hop-by-Hop Options
> Routing (Type 0)
> Fragment
> Destination Options
> Authentication
> Encapsulating Security Payload
>
> The first four are specified in this document; the last two are
> specified in [RFC-2402] and [RFC-2406], respectively.
my interpretation: if cellular host does not implement "a full
implementation of IPv6", cellular host can omit AH and ESP.
so, I believe it okay for cellular host to omit AH/ESP, if needed.
