The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Interactions between PMIPv6 and MIPv6: scenarios and related issues' (draft-ietf-netlmm-mip-interactions-07.txt) as an Informational RFC This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Jari Arkko. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-netlmm-mip-interactions/ Technical Summary The Proxy Mobile IPv6 specification in RFC 5213 describes network based mobility management for IPv6 hosts across IPv6 network domains. This document describes the possible interactions between Proxy Mobile IPv6 and Mobile IPv6. It provides some guidelines on the best practices to use when combining these two protocols to provide mobility for end hosts. Working Group Summary This is a product of the NETLMM WG. There is a consensus in the WG for publication as an informational RFC. There have been some disagreements on the approach used to solve the collocated LMA and HA case in the document. The present approach uses logically separate binding cache entries for the LMA and HA, which is based on consensus. Some members of the WG strongly preferred the approach of having the same binding cache entry for the LMA and HA - however, the approach needed additional solutions to address race conditions that arose from it and it did not gain consensus in the WG. It should be noted that this was not raised by anyone in the WG during WGLC of the document and the document as a whole had strong consensus to be published. Document Quality The document has gone through various reviews and a successful WGLC. Personnel Responsible AD is Jari Arkko and the document shepherd is Vidya Narayanan. RFC Editor Note Change in section 3.1: s/regardless/regardless of/ Section 3.2, list item 3: s/access when/access where/ Section 3.2: Reword "delay in the mobility signaling sent may imply adverse situations"; maybe "delay in the receipt mobility signaling may result in undesirable situations"? In section 3.2, in the last bullet of list item 4: OLD: Based on this consideration, the threat described in [RFC4832] is worse as it affects also hosts that are using the LMA/HA as MIPv6 HA and are not using PMIPv6. NEW: Based on this consideration, the threat described in [RFC4832] becomes more critical with simultaneous use of PMIPv6 and MIPv6, as the threat affects also hosts that are using the LMA/HA through MIPv6 only. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
