MOBLIE IPV6 IMPLEMENTATION
--------------------------------
In honor of HUT Software Project, we have imported/merged MIPL Mobile
IPv6 implementation from their version of 0.9.3 into USAGI CVS
repository. It implements draft-ietf-mobileip-ipv6-15. MIPL source
codes are written and owned by HUT Software Project.
If you want to get information about MIPL, you can get from their web

features,
	- Catching up RFC2553bis APIs,
	- Improving NDP(Neighbour Discovery Protocol) further,
	- Improving extension header functions,
	- Implementing IPv6 multicast routing,
	- Improving Mobile IPv6
	- Implementing new DNS features (EDNS0, DNSsec),
	- Improving anycast ,
	- Designing and implementing new tunnel device,
	- Designing and implementing translator and
	- Improving policy routing.


NEXT RELEASE
