The IESG has received a request from the Network-Based Mobility Extensions WG (netext) to consider the following document: - 'Logical-interface Support for Multi-access enabled IP Hosts' <draft-ietf-netext-logical-interface-support-12.txt> as Informational RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2016-02-05. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract A Logical-interface is a software semantic internal to the host operating system. This semantic is available in all popular operating systems and is used in various protocol implementations. The Logical-interface support is required on the mobile node attached to a Proxy Mobile IPv6 domain, for leveraging various network-based mobility management features such as inter-technology handoffs, multihoming and flow mobility support. This document explains the operational details of Logical-interface construct and the specifics on how the link-layer implementations hide the physical interfaces from the IP stack and from the network nodes on the attached access networks. Furthermore, this document identifies the applicability of this approach to various link-layer technologies and analyzes the issues around it when used in conjunction with various mobility management features. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-netext-logical-interface-support/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-netext-logical-interface-support/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
