As the deployment of second and third generation cellular networks
progresses, a large number of cellular hosts are being connected to
the Internet.  Standardization organizations are making Internet
Protocol version 6 (IPv6) mandatory in their specifications.  However,
the concept of IPv6 covers many aspects and numerous specifications.
In addition, the characteristics of cellular links in terms of
bandwidth, cost and delay put special requirements on how IPv6 is
used.  This document considers IPv6 for cellular hosts that attach to
the General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), or Universal Mobile
Telecommunications System (UMTS) networks.  This document also lists
basic components of IPv6 functionality and discusses some issues
relating to the use of these components when operating in these
networks.

This document is a product of the IP Version 6 Working Group Working
Group of the IETF.
