Some comments on proxy behaviour of DS-MIPv6 HA 
draft-ietf-mip6-nemo-v4traversal-01.txt.

The draft currently says:
>    A home agent must also act as a proxy for address resolution in IPv4
>    for the registered IPv4 home addresses of mobile nodes it is serving.

The draft doesn't mention anything about ARP.

I was wondering whether HA should do proxy ARP for the real IPv4 HoA or 
proxy ND for IPv4-mapped IPv6 address (derived from the IPv4 HoA).

I personally think it should do proxy ARP and not proxy ND, because I 
don't know how ND works with IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses.

If so, maybe it should be specified in the draft.

What do you think?
