The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'Registration Revocation in
Mobile IPv4' <draft-ietf-mobileip-reg-revok-07.txt> as a Proposed
Standard. This document is the product of the IP Routing for
Wireless/Mobile Hosts Working Group.
The IESG contact persons are Thomas Narten and Erik Nordmark.
Technical Summary
This document defines a Mobile IPv4 Registration Revocation mechanism
whereby a mobility agent (i.e., either a Home Agent or Foreign Agent)
that provides Mobile IP services to a mobile node can notify its peer
mobility agent (or co-located mobile node) that it is discarding one
or more of its mobility bindings and for this notification to be
acknowledged. In addition, the signaling mechanism already defined by
the Mobile IPv4 protocol is extended so that a mobility agent can also
inform the mobile node(s) of the revocation of their binding(s).
Working Group Summary
There was support for this document in the WG.
Protocol Quality
This document has been reviewed for the IESG by Thomas Narten.
RFC Editor Note:
RFC-Editor, in Section 7.2 replace:
Old:
Revocation messages
defined in this document which are passed between home and
foreign agents in the revocation process MUST be protected by
either the same foreign-home authenticators defined in [1], or
another authentication mechanism at least as secure and agreed
upon by the end agents, e.g., IPSec and IKE.
New:
All foreign and home agents MUST support protection of revocation
messages via the foreign-home authenticators defined in [1].
They MAY implement other mechanisms of equal or greater
strength; if such mechanisms are known to be available to
both parties, they MAY be used instead.
