George,

So we have many transition mechanisms for supporting IPv6 when a host
is attached to an IPv4 access today. Obviously none of them are able
to deal with mobility (i.e the host moving to different v4
subnets). Your I-D basically is provding yet another transition
mechanism for IPv6 with the added benefit of mobility. We are talking
about dual-stack mobile hosts here, right... And you would agree that
most IPv4 hosts do not have Mobile IPv4 client capability today. Given
that the host is a dual-stack node, it should support MIP6 as part of
its IPv6 stack. Hence it would be better to handle mobility using MIP6
and also provide IPv4 connectivity using such an approach.
In your I-D you state:

"
   On the other hand, and more importantly, it allows dual stack mobile
   nodes and networks to utilize a single protocol for the movement of
   both IPv4 and IPv6 stacks in the network topology.
"
The design team in MIP6/NEMO WG is essentially working on addressing
the same issue for DS nodes. Why not use IPv6 mobility as the baseline
mobility protocol?

The other point that I had was if connectivity to IPv6 islands is the
need of the hour with mobility, could you not address this by using a
Mobike solution that also provides transition GW capability on the GW
side?
