You might also want to look at RFC 4294
(IPv6 Node Requirements).

Hi,

My apologies, the previous message was sent all too early by mistake...

What I ment to say, you might want to have a look at RFC3316. 3GPP is
using it as a reference for Release 5 (and onwards) cellular hosts. My
personal view is that mobile devices which have IPv6 stack (well, that
is typically dual IPv4/IPv6 stack...) implemented according to it
"implement IPv6".

Ok, Ok, I probably haven't been paying attention, but...

If a device implements a subset of IPv6, (e.g., no IPsec, no mobile
IP), is it generally understood that this device "implements IPv6"?

Has a standard subset of IPv6 been defined for very low-end devices
that simply can't implement a full IPv6?

As far as I can tell, we are at least informally moving towards
IPv6-over-some-oddball-medium solutions that only implement a subset
of IPv6, but it is not clear to me that they are always the same subset.
It is also not clear to me whether this matters much.
