IP Dest is the confusing part, I guess clarification in the draft, helps.

Question based on your suggestion,
When Context trigger is generated, pAR sends PCTD to nAR.
Let us say,
IP Dest = NAR's IP (IPv4) is used and
IP Src = PAR's IP  (IPv4) is used to send PCTD to nAR

When MN sends CTAR with PAR= IPv6 to nAR,
How does nAR verify and enable the contexts ?

This description in the draft may clarify things, but how to
identify the IP version AR in CT messages.
I guess another V flag for AR might simply things.
