Title : MIPv6 Inter-working with Packet Filtering

This document provides considerations for some requirements on
the IPv6 nodes using MIPv6 to communicate with their peers across
a network boundary where some specific packet filtering is
deployed for operator and service provider controlled access to
the services and network resources. Depending on the operational
policies, the packet filtering can be applied on either the
incoming packets or the outgoing packets or in both directions.
A mobile node using MIPv6 sends packets with Home IP address in
the extension headers, while the packet filtering is often based
on either the source address or the destination address or both
in the basic IPv6 header.Packet filtering that complies with the
policies from the mobility unaware applications will fail to
perform properly due to the change of the source and destination
addresses in the basic IPv6 header when MIPv6 is used. This
document provides an analysis on the operation requirements on
packet filtering and then proposes a simple solution that does
not impose any change on IPv6 but requires an addition to IPv6
nodes using MIPv6.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-chen-mobileip-packet-fitlering-xc-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
