A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Mobile IPv6 and Firewalls

Firewalls are an integral part of most IP networks deployed today.
Firewall technology available today is predominantly for IPv4
networks. Firewalls for IPv6 networks are slowly becoming
available. In most cases, current firewall technologies do not
support Mobile IPv6. Unless firewalls are aware of Mobile IPv6
protocol details, these security devices will hamper large-scale
deployment of the protocol. This document presents in detail some
of the issues that firewalls present for Mobile IPv6 deployment.
The goal of this Internet draft is to highlight the issues with
firewalls and Mobile IPv6 and act as an enabler for further
discussion. Issues identified here can be solved by developing
appropriate solutions in the MIP6 WG.

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.
