"Mobile IPv6 support for dual stack Hosts and Routers (DSMIPv6)", Hesham Soliman, 20-Nov-07. ( bytes)

The current Mobile IPv6 and NEMO specifications support IPv6 only. This specification extends those standards to allow the registration of IPv4 addresses and prefixes, respectively, and the transport of both IPv4 and IPv6 packets over the tunnel to the HA. This specification also allows the Mobile Node to roam over both IPv6 and IPv4, including the case where Network Address Translation is present on the path between the mobile node and its home agent.

"Analysis of Multihoming in Mobile IPv6", Nicolas Montavont, Ryuji Wakikawa, Thierry Ernst, Chan-Wah Ng, Koojana Kuladinithi, 2-May-08. ( bytes)

Mobile IPv6 as specified in RFC 3775 allows a mobile node to maintain its IPv6 communications while moving between subnets. This document investigates configurations where a mobile node running Mobile IPv6 is multihomed. The use of multiple addresses is foreseen to provide ubiquitous, permanent and fault-tolerant access to the Internet, particularly on mobile nodes which are more prone to failure or sudden lack of connectivity. However, Mobile IPv6 currently lacks support for such multihomed nodes. The purpose of this document is to detail all the issues arising through the operation of Mobile IPv6 on multihomed mobile nodes.

"Motivations and Scenarios for Using Multiple Interfaces and Global Addresses", Thierry Ernst, Nicolas Montavont, Ryuji Wakikawa, Chan-Wah Ng, Koojana Kuladinithi, 2-May-08. ( bytes)

In this document, multihoming is investigated from an end-node point of view, and not from a site point of view as the term "multihoming" is commonly understood so far. The purpose of this document is to explain the motivations for fixed and mobile nodes (hosts and routers) using multiple interfaces and the scenarios where this may end up using multiple global addresses on their interfaces. Such multihoming configurations can bring a number of benefits once appropriate support mechanisms are put in place. Interestingly, this analysis is generic, i.e. motivations and benefits of node multihoming apply to both fixed end nodes and mobile end nodes.

"Multiple Care-of Addresses Registration", Ryuji Wakikawa, Thierry Ernst, Kenichi Nagami, Vijay Devarapalli, 29-Apr-08. ( bytes)

According to the current Mobile IPv6 specification, a mobile node may have several care-of addresses, but only one, called the primary care-of address, that can be registered with its home agent and the correspondent nodes. However, for matters of cost, bandwidth, delay, etc, it is useful for the mobile node to get Internet access through multiple accesses simultaneously, in which case the mobile node would be configured with multiple active IPv6 care-of addresses. This document proposes extensions to the Mobile IPv6 protocol to register and use multiple care-of addresses. The extensions proposed in this document can be used by Mobile Routers using the NEMO (Network Mobility) Basic Support protocol as well.

"Home Agent Reliability Protocol", Ryuji Wakikawa, 19-Nov-07. ( bytes)

The home agent can be a single point of failure when Mobile IPv6 is used in a system. It is critical to provide home agent reliability in the event of a home agent crashing or becoming unavailable. This would allow another home agent to take over and continue providing service to the mobile nodes. This document describes the problem scope briefly and provides a mechanism of home agent failure detection, home agent state transfer, and home agent switching for home agent redundancy and reliability.

"RADIUS Mobile IPv6 Support", Kuntal Chowdhury, 25-Feb-08. ( bytes)

This document defines new attributes to facilitate Mobile IPv6 operationrs using RADIUS infratstructure. The operations include bootstrapping of information required by the Mobile and the interface between the Home Agent and the RADIUS server used to assist MIP6 operations.

"NEMO Route Optimization Requirements for Operational Use in Aeronautics and Space Exploration Mobile Networks", Wesley Eddy, Will Ivancic, Terry Davis, 24-Feb-08. ( bytes)

This document describes the requirements and desired properties of NEMO Route Optimization techniques for use in global networked communications systems for aeronautics and space exploration. This version has been reviewed by members of the International Civil Aviation Orgnanization (ICAO) and other aeronautical communications standards bodies, and contributed to by a number of aeronautical communications experts outside the normal IETF process.

"AAA Goals for Mobile IPv6", Gerardo Giaretta, Ivano Guardini, Elena Demaria, Julien Bournelle, Rafa Lopez, 2-May-08. ( bytes)

In commercial and enterprise deployments Mobile IPv6 can be a service offered by a Mobility Services Provider (MSP). In this case all protocol operations may need to be explicitly authorized and traced, requiring the interaction between Mobile IPv6 and the AAA infrastructure. Integrating the AAA infrastructure (e.g. NAS and AAA server) offers also a solution component for Mobile IPv6 bootstrapping. This document describes various scenarios where a AAA interface for Mobile IPv6 is required. Additionally, it lists design goals and requirements for such an interface.

"Mobile IPv6 support for dual stack Hosts and Routers (DSMIPv6)", Hesham Soliman, 1-May-08. ( bytes)

The current Mobile IPv6 and NEMO specifications support IPv6 only. This specification extends those standards to allow the registration of IPv4 addresses and prefixes, respectively, and the transport of both IPv4 and IPv6 packets over the tunnel to the home agent. This specification also allows the Mobile Node to roam over both IPv6 and IPv4, including the case where Network Address Translation is present on the path between the mobile node and its home agent.

"NEMO Management Information Base", Sri Gundavelli, Glenn Mansfield, Kazuhide Koide, Kenichi Nagami, 4-May-08. ( bytes)

This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB), the network mobility support (NEMO) MIB, for use with network management protocols in the Internet community. In particular, the NEMO MIB will be used to monitor and control a mobile ipv6 node with NEMO functionality.

"Automotive Industry Requirements for NEMO Route Optimization", Roberto Baldessari, Thierry Ernst, Massimiliano Lenardi, 18-Feb-08. ( bytes)

This document specifies requirements for NEMO Route Optimization techniques as identified by the automotive industry. Requirements are gathered from the Car2Car Communication Consortium and ISO Technical Committee 204 Working Group 16 (CALM).
