Abstract:
This document introduces a framework for analyzing mobility
management protocols in terms of their key abstracted logical
functions. The framework is capable of presenting a unified view,
reducing the clutter that obscures a casual reader from understanding
the commonalities between different approaches in mobility
management. More importantly, a first order application of this
framework allows us to examine previously standardized mobility
management protocols, such as MIPv6 and PMIPv6 (as well as several of
their extensions), and describe their core functionality in terms of
different configurations of the logical functions defined by the
framework. As a result, we can use the framework to analyze the gaps
between the protocols needed in a distributed mobility management
environment and the functionality provided by the current generation
of mobility management protocols. Our analysis points to the need
for a re-configuration of logical functions identified in the
framework as well as the need for new extensions which can make
distributed mobility management possible in the future.
