If I go back and look at the initial posts in this thread,
the only one who mentioned enterprises was I, and if you read
that post again, you'll see that I'm *not* assuming that the
MIPv4 infrastructure is in the enterprise, only that it is
used by the enterprise.  So there seems to have been a bit
of a misunderstanding here...

One expample:

Currently there are 2 proposals for multi-access mobility in
3GPP, one which proposes MIPv6 with v4trans additions (from
Ericsson) and one proposing MIPv4.  If the MIPv4 proposal
goes through (I don't think that's optimal, but I think it
may happen) then the kind of functionality we're talking about
here will be hotly required in a few years.  About the time we
can have an RFC out and ready for reference if we start now.


Regards,

	Henrik
