NETEXT WG members,

It was said at times that PMIP-NEMO is impossible.  PMIP is a core
network protocol, where mobility is supported without modifying the MN.

Or, in some PMIP-NEMO proposals, the MN _is_ modified: for example it
adds DHCP Client on it; or other times it performs HNP Division.

BEcause of this there exist statements that PMIP-NEMO is impossible.

Do you think there are other reasons why PMIP-NEMO is impossible?

Do you think that running DHCP Client on MN is a modification to MN?
