Re: Why, technically, MIP and IPv6 can't be deployed

   That ND extensively, without any valid reason to do so, use
   multicast, which is not acknowledged at WLAN L2, means IPv6
   or its ND is unreliable over congested WLAN. If multicast
   ND packet is lost by congestion, it is not retransmitted by L2.
   
=> Masataka san, your argument is right (I saw 40% lost rate
on multicast over IEEE 802.11b) but it applies to IPv4 (ARP
uses broadcast) too...
