The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 Mobility Management ' <draft-ietf-mipshop-4140bis-05.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Mobility for IP: Performance, Signaling and Handoff Optimization Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Jari Arkko and Mark Townsley. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-mipshop-4140bis-05.txt Technical Summary This document introduces extensions to Mobile IPv6 and IPv6 Neighbour Discovery to allow for local mobility handling. Hierarchical mobility management for Mobile IPv6 is designed to reduce the amount of signalling between the Mobile Node, its Correspondent Nodes, and its Home Agent. The Mobility Anchor Point (MAP) described in this document can also be used to improve the performance of Mobile IPv6 in terms of handover speed. Working Group Summary This came out of the MIPSHOP WG. Document Quality There have been experimental implementations of RFC 4140, but no known commercial deployments exist. Some interop testing has been going on. Personnel This specification was reviewed by Jari Arkko for the IESG. RFC Editor Note In Section 3.1, change: OLD: through Neighbour Discovery [RFC 4861]the MAP option NEW: through Neighbour Discovery [RFC 4861] and the MAP option Please change this in 3.1: OLD: The Home address used in the BU is the RCoA. NEW: The Home address used in the BU is the RCoA, which the mobile node acquires via RFC 4877 [RFC4877] Section 9 mechanisms when it first contacts a given MAP. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
