The IESG has approved the following document: - 'IPv4 Traffic Offload Selector Option for Proxy Mobile IPv6' (draft-ietf-netext-pmipv6-sipto-option-12.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Network-Based Mobility Extensions Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Brian Haberman and Ralph Droms. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-netext-pmipv6-sipto-option/ Technical Summary: This specification defines a mechanism and a related mobility option for carrying IPv4 Offload traffic selectors between a mobile access gateway and a local mobility anchor in a Proxy Mobile IPv6 domain. Based on the received offload flow selectors from the local mobility anchor, a mobile access gateway can enable offload traffic rule on the selected IPv4 flows. The intent of the option being defined in this I-D is to enable IPv4 traffic associated with a mobile node to be routed from the access network itself instead of having to tunnel it back to the home network (Local Mobility Agent). Working Group Summary: There is nothing unusual about this I-D or WG process w.r.t this I-D that is noteworthy. The I-D has been presented and discussed at various IETF meetings and has been reviewed by several WG members and chair. Since one of the co-authors (Rajeev Koodli) is also a Netext WG chair, he has recused himself from the review or shepherding process and I am acting as the sole chair with responsibility for this I-D. Document Quality: There are no known implementations of this extension at the present time. A few vendors have expressed plans to implement this specification as part of their 3GPP solutions for traffic offloading. All reviewers of this I-D have been acknowledged and there is no reason for a special mention of any specific reviewer. This I-D did not specify a MIB or any Media type and hence such experts were not called upon to provide their feedback.
