FWIW, our implementation (Elmic Systems) of Mobile IPv6 (CN and MN) does
implement the Mobility Header protocol entirely in our TCP/IP kernel. It
can use a RTOS, but is independent of any RTOS (therefore, also supports
polling/non-blocking mode of operation). It is not Unix, it is for
smaller host embedded systems.
