Title : IPv6 for Second and Third Generation Cellular Host
Author(s) : J. Arkko et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-ipv6-cellular-host-01.txt
Pages : 22
Date : 16-Apr-02
As increasing numbers of cellular hosts are being connected to the
Internet, IPv6 becomes necessary. Examples of such hosts are devices
used with General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) or Universal Mobile
Telecommunications System (UMTS) networks. Standardization
organizations are also making IPv6 mandatory in their newest
specifications. However, the concept of IPv6 covers many aspects,
numerous standards, a number of different situations and is still
evolving. A rapid adoption of IPv6 is desired for cellular hosts. In
addition, the characteristics of cellular links in terms of
bandwidth, cost and delay put special requirements on IPv6. For
these reasons it is necessary to understand how the IPv6 deployment
in second and third generation cellular networks will start and
which parts of IPv6 are used in which situations. This informational
document lists basic components of IPv6 functionality and discusses
some issues relating to the use of these components when operating
over cellular interfaces.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
