MIPL Mobile IPv6 version 0.9.1

MIPL Mobile IPv6 is an implementation of the Mobile IPv6 specification
for Linux. The software provides transparent mobility to applications
which use IPv6 by implementing draft-ietf-mobileip-ipv6-15 and also
parts of the IPSec protocols. It works at least with Red Hat 6.1
through 7.2 with the kernel version indicated in the package name.

The software was developed as part of a software development project
course at the Helsinki University of Technology. The project's goal
was to create a prototype implementation of Mobile IPv6 for linux.
The project group consisted of: Sami Kivisaari, Niklas Kämpe, Juha
Mynttinen, Toni Nykänen, Henrik Petander and Antti Tuominen. The
software has been developed further by the GO research project at the
computer science department of HUT. Also the members of the MIPL
mailing list have contributed to the development of this version by
sending bug reports and patches.

The package consists of a kernel module, kernel patches and userspace
programs for configuration and installation of the kernel part. Also a
modified radvd daemon is included.  INSTALL file contains information
about installation and man pages provide help for the use of the
userspace tools. Current issues with and limitations of the software
are included in the TODO file. Copyright and other legal issues are
addressed in COPYING. CHANGES list the changes from the previous
version. Read also the radvd README file for changes made to it.

This release may contain bugs, although it has been tested to some
degree. The user should note that since the software is implemented
as a kernel-module it may crash her computer, potentially damage its
file system and cause loss of information.
