Problem Statement for MIPv6 Interactions with GPRS/UMTS Packet Filtering 
		draft-chen-mip6-gprs-02.txt 

Abstract 
This document provides an analysis of certain inter-working problems between
IPv6 nodes running Mobile IPv at least one of which is connected to a Third
Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) specified General Packet Radio
Service/Universal Mobile Tele- communications System (GPRS/UMTS) network. The
inter-working problems are caused by some specific packet filtering
operations at the edge of the GPRS/UMTS network which are applied to control
access to the GPRS/UMTS services and network resources. However, we believe
that other scenarios may exist in which similar packet filtering operations
may be applied and that similar problems would arise in these more general
scenarios. The GPRS Gateway Support Node (GGSN) checks the source address or
the destination address in the basic IPv6 header of incoming or outgoing IP
datagrams against a set of packet filtering information established during
the GPRS/UMTS session set-up. The packet filtering information remains stable
during the sessions and independent of Mobile IP. When MIPv6 is activated by
either end of the IPv6 mobile nodes, the packet filtering will fail to
perform properly and subsequently block the traffic due to the mismatch
between the packet filters and the current source address or destination
address in the basic IPv6 header of the IP datagrams to and from the IPv6
mobile nodes.
