Hi Tele,

I assume you are talking about the following paragraph.

A simple question. Why is IPv6 assumed? A MOS should be
reachable when its address is IPv4 or IPv6. The mobile node
MUST be able to reach the MOS server whether it is on an IPv4
or IPv6 access network. Correct?

What is the point of discovering the IPv6 address of the MOS,
when the mobile node is on an IPv4 access network? For Mobile
IPv6 bootstrapping mechanisms we assume that the mobile node
needs to discover the IPv4 address of the home agent when it
is on an IPv4 access network.

I must be missing something.
