The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider the following document: - 'Reserved IPv6 Interface Identifier for Proxy Mobile IPv6' <draft-gundavelli-v6ops-pmipv6-address-reservations-03.txt> as a Proposed Standard This draft is being last called for the second time, as it was discovered late that allocations from the reserved interface identifier registry need to be made by Proposed Standard RFCs. In addition, some further review seems necessary. The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2011-10-17. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Proxy Mobile IPv6 [RFC5213] requires all the mobile access gateways to use a fixed link-local and link-layer addresses on any of its access links that it shares with the mobile nodes. This was intended to ensure a mobile node does not detect any change with respect to its layer-3 attachment even after it roams from one mobile access gateway to another. In the absence of any reserved addresses for this use, it requires coordination across vendors and the manual configuration of these addresses on all the mobility elements in a Proxy Mobile IPv6 domain. This document attempts to simplify this operational requirement by making reservation for special addresses that can be used for this purpose and it also updates RFC 5213.
