An Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) Profile for 3GPP Mobile Devices
draft-ietf-v6ops-mobile-device-profile-21
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.

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]).
