The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Update Notifications for Proxy Mobile IPv6' (draft-ietf-netext-update-notifications-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 Ted Lemon. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-netext-update-notifications/ Technical Summary: This document specifies protocol enhancements for allowing the local mobility anchor in a Proxy Mobile IPv6 domain to asynchronously notify the mobile access gateway about changes related to a mobility session. These update notification messages are exchanged using a new Mobility Header message type specifically designed for this purpose. Working Group Summary: The extension to Proxy Mobile IPv6 was viewed as essential to the protocol and hence was adopted by the working group and progressed with no issues. Document Quality: The document has been reviewed by multiple experts within the working group and has been updated based on the feedback received. The quality of the document itself is good and ready for IESG review. All reviewers have been acknowledged in the I-D. The extension is relevant and has been requested by 3GPP as an enhancement to the protocol. Multiple vendors are likely to implement this extension to Proxy Mobile IPv6.
