Microsoft is keen to provide a supported implementation of Mobile IPv6 in its Windows products. We are working with our partners and customers, and with the IETF to provide this support. At the present time [December 2002], the IETF has not completed the Mobile IPv6 RFC. Microsoft does not therefore include Mobile IPv6 in its Windows products.

A preview edition of Mobile IPv6 for early versions of Windows 2000, confirming to version 12 of the Mobile IPv6 Internet draft, has been available for research purposes from the Microsoft Research website. This has not been actively maintained against recent releases of the Windows operating system. We do not plan to uprade this particular implementation because we do not plan to release further releases of IPv6 for Windows 2000. For the best experience with IPv6 from Microsoft, please use Windows XP and the forthcoming Windows .NET Server Family.
