The IESG has approved the following document: - 'MAG Multipath Binding Option' (draft-ietf-dmm-mag-multihoming-07.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Distributed Mobility Management Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Suresh Krishnan and Terry Manderson. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dmm-mag-multihoming/ Technical Summary This specification defines extensions to the Proxy Mobile IPv6 protocol for allowing a mobile access gateway to register more than one proxy care-of-address with the local mobility anchor and to simultaneously establish multiple IP tunnels with the local mobility anchor. This capability allows the mobile access gateway to utilize all the available access networks for routing mobile node's IP traffic. Working Group Summary The document has been in a WG for a long time and gone through a bigger change to be independent of specific deployment architecture. The solution reached consensus in the working group. Document Quality There are commercial pre-standard implementations of the protocol. The document has been reviewed thoroughly inside the WG. Personnel Jouni Korhonen is the document shepherd. Suresh Krishnan is the responsible AD. RFC Editor Note Please make this substitution replacing a lower case "should" with an upper case "SHOULD". OLD: However, if the MAG is not aware of the LMA capability, then it should first discover the LMA capability by sending PBU packets with multipath on only one path first NEW: However, if the MAG is not aware of the LMA capability, then it SHOULD first discover the LMA capability by sending PBU packets with multipath on only one path first
