MIPv6 hopeless

Christian;

> Which is to say, I would be much more confortable examining a specific proposition, such as "use of MIPv6 to survive re-homing events", rather than a generic proposition of "let's split".

At Vienna, I explained three reasons on why MIPv6 is hopeless.

That is,

	its handover is too slow to be useful for any realistic
	application

	it is server (home agent) based

	it reduces MTU to violate the IPv6 specification

The second one is multi6 specific, while the first and the third ones
are generic. But, I think any of the reason is fatal.

Now, you have a chance for counter argument.
