Title : The Local Mobility Management Protocol (LMMP)
Author(s) : J. Manner
Filename : draft-manner-lmmp-00.txt
Pages : 17
Date : 2004-10-18
Mobile IP (MIP) is the well-known protocol to handle the mobility of
IP-based mobile nodes (MN). However, MIP has some drawbacks,
including high latency in updates during a handover, and the need for
infrastructure in the home networks of MNs. To enhance the mobility
of nodes within a single domain, an access network (AN), several
local mobility (also called micro mobility) management protocols have
been suggested. All these protocols have their strengths and
drawbacks. The deployment of these protocols is a chicken and egg
problem, since both the AN and the MNs must support the same
protocol. This draft presents a new protocol that can be used to
replace the communication between the AN and the MNs in the existing
local mobility management schemes. The protocol hides from MNs the
AN-internal mobility management mechanisms and, therefore, allows MNs
to log in to and roam within any AN regardless of the local mobility
scheme used.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
