About implicit mode: Implicit mode, means that MIP signaling is NOT
 used to indicate the IPv6 addresses/prefixes for a given MN. How
these address/prefixes are known by the MN and the HA is simply
outside the scope of this specification. The MN can use DHCP prefix
delegation, or HA and MN could be preconfigured with IPv6 prefixes,
or some other mechanism that I do not know about may be used. There
is nothing we need to say about any of this here.

I think what one needs in DSMIPv4 implicit mode is HA to hold a new table IPv4 HoA - IPv6 HoA. I don't think prefix delegation can offer
that association.


GT> Yes, but my point is that how it does this is entirely an implementation issue and there is no protocol work that needs to be done for it.

Ok...

About encapsulation methods: When IPv6 is tunneled to the MN's IPv4
 HoA, you get IPv6-in-IPv4 i.e.,

For this IPv6-in-IPv4 - which RFC? rfc2529 (6over4 - IPv4 protocol 41)? Shouldn't this be referred to? You thought another?


GT> I think the obvious choice is RFC4213

Ah I think rfc4213 "Basic Transition Mechanisms for IPv6 Hosts and Routers" is appropriate to be referenced in this draft for IPv6-in-IPv4 encapsulation. The RFC talks dual-stack and configured tunnelling as two different mechanisms. I think the DSMIP only needs the dual-stack part?
