In contrast to MIPL Kame supported IPSec from early on. MIPL version 1.1 is the minimum requirement for usage as a MN in conjunction with a Kame HA. Earlier versions of MIPL are incompatible with KAME HA. With MIPL 2.0 IPSec support should be included as well (not evaluated yet).

The KAME Mobile IPv6 stack had been developed for long time. Last year, for several reasons, it was decided to merge the implementation with that of the WIDE project , where another Mobile IPv6 code for BSDs had been developed by SFC in Keio University. Both partners agreed to unify and re-design their implementations. The resulting new MIP6 code is called shisa which confirmed its interoperability during the latest ETSI IPv6 plugtest event.

The current shisa implementation is based on RFC 3775, RFC 3776 [RFC3776], RFC 3963 [RFC3963] and draft-wakikawa-mobileip-multiplecoa-04 [WUEN05]. It works on FreeBSD 4.10, FreeBSD 5.3 and NetBSD 1.6.2. But note that FreeBSD 4.10 will not be supported in kame snap soon as announced on snap-users mailing list.
