RE: Win32 demo of Mobile IPv6 mobile node and correspondent node is available

FYI -

We recently updated our Win32 demo of dual stack + applications + MIPv6
MN+CN to v1.6; all known stability issues with the Win32 application are
now fixed (including the WinXP issue described below), also it has a
couple of MIPv6 bug fixes (including fixing Mobile Prefix Discovery,
which didn't work at all in v1.5). It is available here:

Thanks.
