Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) Profile for Mobile Devices
draft-ietf-v6ops-mobile-device-profile-00
Abstract
This document specifies an IPv6 profile for mobile devices. It lists
the set of features a mobile device is to be compliant with to
connect to an IPv6-only or dual-stack mobile network. The document
identifies also features to ensure IPv4 service continuity over an
IPv6-only transport.
Both Hosts and devices with LAN capabilities are in scope.

1. Introduction
[RFC3316] lists a set of features to be supported by cellular hosts
to connect to 3GPP cellular networks. Since the publication of that
document, new functions have been specified within the 3GPP and the
IETF whilst others have been updated. Moreover, in the light of
recent IPv6 production deployments, additional features to facilitate
IPv6-only deployments while accessing IPv4-only service are to be
considered.
A detailed overview of IPv6 support in 3GPP architectures is provided
in [RFC6459].
This document makes use of the terms defined in [RFC6459].
PREFIX64 denotes an IPv6 prefix used to build IPv4-converted IPv6
addresses [RFC6052].
