FW: I-D ACTION:draft-tsirtsis-dsmip-problem-00.txt

Hi all,

During the Mobile IP WG meeting in Austria, Hesham and myself brought up the
issue of mobility management for dual stack nodes. 

Thomas N. requested that we put together a problem statement so that we can
discuss the issue; the draft below was published today - it is short and I
hope to the point - so do read it :)

I have copied v6ops since I think this is a v4 - v6 migration issue as well
as Mobile IPv4 and Mobile IPv6 issue. 

Let us know what you think.

George

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts

	Title		: Mobility management for Dual stack mobile nodes  A

This draft discusses the issues associated with mobility management 
for dual stack mobile nodes. Currently, two mobility management 
protocols are defined for IPv4 and IPv6. Deploying both in a dual 
stack mobile node introduces a number of inefficiencies. Deployment 
and operational issues motivate the use of a single mobility 
management protocol. This draft discusses such motivations. The draft 
also hints on how current MIPv4 and MIPv6 could be extended so that 
they can support mobility management for a dual stack node.
