RE: [nemo] Re: [Mip6] Consensus call on making ID draft-wakikawa-nemo-v4tunnel a MIP6/NEMO WGs document

Agreed...

Another angle is that HAs are already being sold and deployed. There is
value in incremental features that do not change the HA and the
surrounding infrastructure.

For instance, in the PE-Based model, corporations only own the routing
within their VPN, and the global addresses are owned by the service
provider. Unless they deploy a specific exit with DMZ, firewall and so
on, they will not have a single box with a global IPv4 address to put an
HA on. 

Do we want to limit the solution to these corps that have a DMZ?

the HA

for
| the HA's IPv4 address and tunnels them to the HA deep in the IPv6
network.

DMZ
| and the HA deep in the IPv6 network. another option is to place the HA
in
| the DMZ. but he doesnt want to do that. I will be discussing with him
to
