A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 6705 Title: Localized Routing for Proxy Mobile IPv6 Author: S. Krishnan, R. Koodli, P. Loureiro, Q. Wu, A. Dutta Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: September 2012 Mailbox: suresh.krishnan@ericsson.com, rkoodli@cisco.com, loureiro@neclab.eu, Sunseawq@huawei.com, adutta@niksun.com Pages: 20 Characters: 43309 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-netext-pmip-lr-10.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6705.txt Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) is a network based mobility management protocol that enables IP mobility for a host without requiring its participation in any mobility-related signaling. PMIPv6 requires all communications to go through the local mobility anchor. As this can be suboptimal, Localized Routing (LR) allows Mobile Nodes (MNs) attached to the same or different Mobile Access Gateways (MAGs) to route traffic by using localized forwarding or a direct tunnel between the gateways. This document proposes initiation, utilization, and termination mechanisms for localized routing between mobile access gateways within a proxy mobile IPv6 domain. It defines two new signaling messages, Localized Routing Initiation (LRI) and Local Routing Acknowledgment (LRA), that are used to realize this mechanism. [STANDARDS-TRACK] This document is a product of the Network-Based Mobility Extensions Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Internet Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
