The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Bulk Binding Update Support for Proxy Mobile IPv6' (draft-ietf-netext-bulk-re-registration-12.txt) as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Network-Based Mobility Extensions Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Jari Arkko and Ralph Droms. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-netext-bulk-re-registration/ Technical Summary For extending the lifetime of a mobility session, the Proxy Mobile IPv6 specification requires the mobile access gateway to send a Proxy Binding Update message to the local mobility agent on a per-session basis. In the absence of signaling semantics for performing operations with group specific scope, it results in significant amount of signaling traffic on a periodic basis between a given mobile access gateway and a local mobility anchor. This document defines an optimization to the binding update and revocation operations in Proxy Mobile IPv6 for performing operations with group specific scope using of a group identifier. Working Group Summary There is WG consensus regarding this proposal. The I-D has been presented and discussed at several WG meetings. It has also been sufficiently reviewed and the document quality improved over multiple revisions. Document Quality There are no known implementations of this protocol at the present time. WG members who helped with the reviews have been acknowledged in the I-D. The document quality is good and can serve as the basis for an implementation. Clear guidelines for processing by the Mobile Access Gateway and the Local Mobility Agent have been specified. Personnel The responsible Area Director is Jari Arkko. The document shepherd is Basavaraj Patil. RFC Editor Note In the IANA considerations Section, make the following change: OLD: o Action-4: The Sub-type field of the Mobile Node Group Identifier option introduces a new number space. This number space needs to be managed by IANA, under the Registry, Mobile Node Group Identifier Type Registry. This specification reserves the sub- type value of (1) (Bulk Binding Update Group). Approval of new sub-type values are to be made through IANA Expert Review. NEW: o Action-4: The Sub-type field of the Mobile Node Group Identifier option introduces a new number space. This number space needs to be managed by IANA, under the Registry, Mobile Node Group Identifier Type Registry. This specification reserves the sub- type value of (1) (Bulk Binding Update Group). Approval of new sub-type values are to be made through IANA Expert Review. The value range of this field is 0 through 255, but the values 0 and 255 are marked as reserved. The remaining values 2-254 are available for allocation. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
