Re: MIP6. There's been a draft or two about extending Mobile IPv6
to support multihoming (parallel addresses as opposed to serial ones).
However, this does not appear to be a work item in any of the current
IETF working groups related to Mobile IPv6.

Re: MULTI6. This is being worked on. But there are a couple of issues.
First, MULTI6 explicitly decided to handled the pure IPv6 problem
only. It seems that the solution their design team is thinking of
is going to work only for IPv6 without an easy extension to IPv4.
Secondly, since there are no detailed or official solution drafts
yet available for the failure detection part, its kind of hard to
tell whether it could be ripped out of MULTI6 and used for supporting
MOBIKE. Maybe. But probably more as an idea rather than relying
on what the MULTI6 module is telling MOBIKE. In fact, if you had
MULTI6 running and you were satisfied with the limitation to IPv6,
you would not need MOBIKE, right?
