Hi Ahmad,

I am not a MIP expert. Please forgive me if I am wrong.

This draft merely specifies that the gateway is the B4 element and describes
how a CID can be constructed to tunnel the packets to AFTR. That's it. The
draft didn't alter the MH. If the MH decides to use CMIP, it can still
create a tunnel to the HA. The ds-lite softwire could happen behind the HA
which leaves the MH and HA stay untouched. For PMIP, the ds-lite gateway
"could possibly coexit" with the MAG. Since Sri is one of the author of
RFC5213, I will let him explain the details. So, I think this draft can be
used independently with or without mobility.

Cheers,
Yiu
