Yes, there shouldn¹t be a case for nested NAT as per RFC5844. We'll
correct this.

Mobility options are required to convey domain name of the PCP Server
within the home network to be used by the MAG. The MAG is unaware of the
PCP server details within various home networks and this option allows PCP
information to be propagated to the local network from the home network
via PMIP signaling.

PMIPv6 for offloading does not assume NPTv6
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netext-pmipv6-sipto-option-06#sectio
n-1) so the PCP server is only for firewall.

For IPv6, as the MN can be assigned an IPv6 prefix from the access network
in addition to the IPv6 prefix from the home network, thereby allowing the
MN to use an IPv6 address from the access network for traffic that needs
to be offloaded in the access network. This scenario is similar to IPv6
multihoming and
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-patil-pcp-multihoming-00#section-3
explains PCP client behavior in such cases.

We intend to add IPv6 details in the next revision.
