Hi Henrik and all, I am incorporating your comments into the issue list. I have an immediate feedback on your comment related to issue#4. You indicated the following: "In appendix B.2, there is a note that it may not be necessary to use FMIPv6 PRTSolPr and PrRtAdv, if MN-AR CARD messages are exchanged, since the CARD messages convey all the necessary information. This seems to make the piggybacking of CARD on top of the PrRt messages irrevelant. Is there some reason to do it, which is just missing from the text? If not, this section should be removed and the messages should be carried on top of UDP as in AR-AR case." [marco]: From the current protocol operation of FMIPv6, this might be true. But since the FMIPv6 protocol design has not been finalized, this has been added into the CARD draft as a note. Too keep it flexible and to be prepared for changes in FMIPv6 protocol spec, we took "appending" CARD messages to FMIPv6 messages into account, not "replacing" them. What do you think? marco
