Abstract
This draft presents Mobile IPv6 [1] operation in IPv4 networks by using existing automatic tunneling method. A mobile IPv6 node uses Mobile IPv6 to maintain connectivity while moving between IPv6 subnets. Not all access networks will transition to IPv6 at once. Therefore, seamless Mobile IPv6 connectivity is not guarantied since a mobile IPv6 node may roam into an IPv4 only network. We describe a scheme, named GLOB6, to allow mobile IPv6 nodes to traverse IPv4 subnets by using automatic tunneling. ISATAP [2] is an example automatic tunneling mechanism described in this document to enable Mobile IPv6 connectivity over IPv4 networks. The draft concludes with a brief description of how the scheme can be applied to certain 3G networks as well as WLAN deployments as part of an overall strategy for the realization of global mobility - a main feature of IPv6.
