Transport Optional Upgrade Release (TOUR) 2.0 Release Notes
What Is in This Version
8
— Conformance to RFC 2472: RFC 2472, “IP Version 6 over PPP,” which defines how to
transmit IPv6 packets over PPP links.
It also describes how to form IPv6 link-local addresses on PPP links and to negotiate
the type compression protocol to be used for compressing or decompressing IPv6
headers transmitted over serial lines.
— Command-line options have been added to the existing pppd daemon.
In TOUR 2.0, these PPPv6 features are supported on both HP-UX 11i v1 and HP-UX 11i v2.
In TOUR 1.0, they were only supported on HP-UX 11i v1.
HP-UX Mobile IPv6 A.01.00
IPv6 addresses are topologically correct, meaning IPv6 nodes attached to the same physical
network or LAN segment must have the same IPv6 network address prefix. Mobile IPv6
allows Mobile Nodes, such as laptops and PDAs, to change network attachment
points—remaining reachable at all times and with no disruption in network
connectivity—using a single, fixed IPv6 address for extended periods of time. Without Mobile
IPv6, Mobile Nodes cannot use a single, fixed IPv6 address while they roam. Instead, each
time a Mobile Node moves and changes network attachment points, it must manually
re-configure a new IP address and default router based on its current location—temporarily
losing its network connections and ability to communicate in the process.
TOUR 2.0 delivers the first release of HP-UX Mobile IPv6 software. HP-UX Mobile IPv6 is:
• server software—not Mobile Node client software
• available on HP-UX 11i v1 and 11i v2
• based on the following IETF documents available at http://www.ietf.org:
— Mobility Support in IPv6
— Using IPsec to Protect Mobile IPv6 Signaling between Mobile Nodes and Home Agents
The following is a list of the features and functionality HP-UX Mobile IPv6 A.01.00 provides:
• Home Agent
• Correspondent Node
• Route Optimization
• Return Routability Procedure
• Dynamic Home Agent Address Discovery
• Prefix Discovery
