see bug 331751, MIPv6 extension not part of RHEL5 TAHI certification requirement. NEMO [Netowrk Mobility] see http://www.cse.wustl.edu/~jain/cse574-06/ftp/network_mobility/index.html for project description. User space and kernel code can be found here for 2.6.15: http://www.mobile-ipv6.org/software/ Perhaps there is a newer patchset somewhere for later version of the kernel. For feature requests we need to keep the USAGI folks in mind as they tend to be who implements this stuff. This work is extremely non-trivial in nature, so we will certainly need their help. The mobile-ipv6 web site is an ancienct code base for basic MIPV6 support and NEMO that was integrated by the USAGI project. The story is that the guys from Finland who did the mobile-ipv6.org stuff worked together with USAGI to integrate as much of their collective work as possible, considering feedback we gave to USAGI et al. during previous netconf conferences. All of the client side support for MIPV6 is in the upstream tree. The rest is still pending. I am not aware of the status of NEMO, probably that is even deeper down in the TODO list (NEMO is an extension to MIPV6, so when MIPV6 is being asked for this does not imply NEMO). It appears that the NEMO aspects of the work were picked up by the nautilus6 folks: http://www.nautilus6.org/doc/nepl-howto/ I took a look at the kernel patch they say is needed for 2.6.23: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=331771 and all of those minor fixes are in 2.6.24-rc1. The rest appears to be a userland NEMO daemon component that they wrote. The userland components are here: ftp://ftp.linux-ipv6.org/pub/usagi/patch/mipv6/umip-0.4/daemon/tarball/mipv6-daemon-umip-0.4.tar.gz http://www.nautilus6.org/doc/nepl-howto/umip-nepl/mipv6-daemon-umip-0.4-nepl-20071026.patch http://www.nautilus6.org/doc/nepl-howto/umip-nepl/mipv6-daemon-umip-0.4-nepl-mcoa-20071026.patch We should be careful what we commit to RHEL6, this is a large and complicated piece of technology and I am unsure what the state of it is. Adding yshao to the cc list as the manager of the disabled user zwu who reported this bug Setting to 'distribution' if the userspace component is what's left. The mipv6 userspace daemon is now part of Fedora but is still missing the NEMO bits as of now. this issue has been resolved. the package should be in RHEL6 compose now. going through package wrangler reviews.

Description of problem: RHEL5 doest support the feature of mipv6 and dont find the code related with mipv6 in the source code of rhel5 kernel. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.18-43.el5 Software Environment: Testee(NUT): RHEL5 Kernel:2.6.18-43.el5 Tester(TN): FreeBSD6.2 TAHI package: ike-mipv6 (version 1.0.4) ct-nemo-ha (version 1.0.1) ct-nemo-mr (version 1.0.1) How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure TAHI test environment. 2. Run the TAHI test suite 3. After the test completes, check for the results Actual results: rhel5 doesn't support the feature of nemo Expected results: rhel5 can support the feature of nemo Additional info: dont find the code related with nemo in the source code of rhel5 kernel. please refer to (1)http://focus.brisbane.redhat.com/~zwu/ct-nemo-ha/index.html (2)http://focus.brisbane.redhat.com/~zwu/ct-nemo-mr/index.html
