Haeffner Vodafone May 2016 An IPv6 Profile for 3GPP Mobile Devices Abstract This document defines a profile that is a superset of the connection to IPv6 cellular networks defined in the IPv6 for Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Cellular Hosts document. This document defines a profile that is a superset of the connections to IPv6 cellular networks defined in "IPv6 for Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Cellular Hosts" (RFC 7066). Both mobile hosts and mobile devices with the capability to share their 3GPP mobile connectivity are in scope. IESG Note The consensus-based IETF description of IPv6 functionality for cellular hosts is described in RFC 7066. Binet, et al.

Informational [Page 2] RFC 7849 IPv6 Profile for Cellular Devices May 2016 1. Introduction IPv6 deployment in 3GPP mobile networks is the only viable 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 lack of availability of working 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-onlyShow full document text
