Title : Policy-based Firewall Traversal for Mobile IPv6
Author(s) : F. Xia, B. Sarikaya
Filename : draft-xia-mip6-fw-policy-00.txt
Pages : 14
Date : 2007-7-3
Most of firewalls deployed today are Mobile IPv6 unaware. Widespread
Mobile IPv6 deployment is not possible unless Mobile IPv6 messages
can pass through these firewalls. In this memo, policy servers are
used to communicate with firewalls and instruct them to bypass Mobile
IPv6 messages. To achieve the goal, Network Access Identifier (NAI)
and authentication information are included in Mobile IPv6 control
signalling or data packets. Firewalls extract these information and
send them to a policy server, and the policy server then installs
corresponding states in firewalls based on authentication result and
user's predefined policy. The new defined IPv6 extension header and
the policy-based frame can also facilitate dynamic configuration in
any application firewall traversal.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-xia-mip6-fw-policy-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.
