Re: [netlmm] Dual Stack Moving Internet (DSMI)

Hi James,

I thought the NetLMM WG had gone further to achieve it's basic aims
(network-based *localized* mobility protocol).

This issue with IPv4-IPv6 roaming in federated NetLMM domains might
be kind of issues on handover between localized mobility management
domains or one of goals for network-based *global* moblity protocols
which should be considered some day.

As Pekka pointed out, this problem can be also solved by IPv6 transition
mechanisms, but we'd prefer *network-based* solutions without any host- 
side signaling or upgrade, rather than using transition mechanisms.
If NetLMM can support this (*seamless*), then there is of benefit to
deployment.

This problem is a kind of deployment one, not an original
problem of NetLMM, as you already know.
I believe this is not trivial.

Of course, there isn't even a WG draft on NETLMM protocol yet, and if
everything is subject to change, there will be a change to look at it.

If the NetLMM WG can cover all the issue above, it will seem to be
fine with me, but I am hoping we can continue to discuss about it
and go further in NetLMM WG or any other place.

Thanks,
Myung-Ki,
