Hi Ryuji,

For this purpose, the mobile router needs to act as a RFC3775
compliant mobile host before starting DHCP-PD.  Why? If there is no
prefix, the mobile router cannot sends a NEMO-BU (i.e. R-flag set) to
its Home Agent. If there is no valid prefix for the mobile router, HA
returns BA with "Invalid Prefix" status value which is treated as the
fatal error in RFC3963.

I'd say the MR still sends a BU with the R-flag set and without the MNP option, which will be considered as registration in Implicit mode by the HA.

Implicit mode requires some mapping between a mobile network prefix and a mobile router.

      Implicit:

         In this mode, the Mobile Router does not include a Mobile
         Network Prefix Option in the Binding Update.  The Home Agent
         can use any mechanism (not defined in this document) to
         determine the Mobile Network Prefix(es) owned by the Mobile
         Router and to set up forwarding for the Mobile Network.  One
example would be manual configuration at the Home Agent mapping
         the Mobile Router's Home Address to the information required
         for setting up forwarding for the Mobile Network.


In RFC3963, we didn't consider a MR who doesn't have any mobile network prefix sends BU with R-flag set. In implicit mode, if there is no prefix for the MR, HA will reject the BU.

regards,
ryuji

We had this discussion for a long time abd it has concluded some time
ago already: WG consensus is to use DHCP PD.

isn't in a critical path, e.g., handover)

Hello

Here is one comment about using MR-HA tunnel for DHCP-PD.

In this draft, the MR registration processing needs 3 round trip
between MR and HA. i. BU to HA; (getting and binding MR_HoA)
ii. DHCPv6 message over MR-HA tunnel. (getting MNP)
iii. BU to HA; (binding MNP)
While, if PD is combined within BU, it is only 1 round trip.

From implementation of viewpoint, the later seems well done prior of the former. Maybe I have lost something, can anyone tell me the story
why we gave up the latter in the new version? Thanks.
