Subject: Purpose of: RE: [mobile-ip] protecting BUs

Hi folks,

   we requested Jari to put this draft together so that we'd
have written in one place the tradeoffs and issues surrounding
the use (or not) of IPSEC and piggybacking BUs.  There's been
a tremendous amount of discussion on the list on this which
is very hard to reference.  We'd like the working group to
work on this document and reach consensus that it adequately
describes the tradeoffs.  Not sure what we'll end up doing with
this document, but its contents should inform what finally
goes into the MIPv6 spec wrt implementation.

Thanks,
Phil
