An Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) Profile for 3GPP Mobile Devices
draft-ietf-v6ops-mobile-device-profile-19
Abstract
This document defines a profile that is a superset of that of the
connection to IPv6 cellular networks defined in the IPv6 for Third
Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Cellular Hosts document. This
document defines an IPv6 profile that a number of operators recommend
in order to connect 3GPP mobile devices to an IPv6-only or dual-stack
wireless network (including 3GPP cellular network) with a special
focus on IPv4 service continuity features.
Both hosts and devices with capability to share their WAN (Wide Area
Network) connectivity are in scope.
Status of This Memo
This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the
provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.
Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering
Task Force (IETF). Note that other groups may also distribute

1. Introduction
IPv6 deployment in 3GPP mobile networks is the only perennial
solution to the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses in those networks.
Several mobile operators have already deployed IPv6 [RFC2460] or are
in the pre-deployment phase. One of the major hurdles as perceived
by some mobile operators is the availability of non-broken IPv6
implementation in mobile devices (e.g., Section 3.3 of [OECD]).
[RFC7066] lists a set of features to be supported by cellular hosts
to connect to 3GPP mobile networks. In the light of recent IPv6
production deployments, additional features to facilitate IPv6-only
deployments while accessing IPv4-only services are to be considered.
