[Mip6-firewall] Detecting support for MIP in FWs

[Gabor.Bajko at nokia.com]

Section 6.4 describes that a STUN aware fw asked whether it supports
MIP, can indicate so in the response. 
The draft is not about fw discovery, but rather about detecting whether
the fw supports MIP or not. The vendor draft requires the fw to support
MIP.

In fact Sec. 4.1 of that draft only discovers one or more NAT boxes, and
Sec. 4.2 discovers firewalls that implement STUN Control, which is
useless for general detection of firewalls.

a client may discover/detect if the fw supports MIP or not. It may worth
mentioning this in the vendor draft.
