[Mip4] draft-vaarala-mip4-optudp-00

[sami.vaarala at iki.fi]

Hi,

Here's a small strawman draft regarding MIPv4 overhead optimization:

  http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-vaarala-mip4-optudp-00.txt

The draft applies when the MN sends most of its traffic to
*one* particular CN, in which case overhead to that particular
CN can be optimized.  The mechanism applies at least to the
case where MIPv4 provides mobility for IPsec tunneling - 
e.g. the normal IPsec-over-MIPv4 situation.  It might also
apply to some VoIP scenarios.

Has anyone else been working on overhead optimizations?
I'm sure all vendors have heard of the "overhead issue" :-)

The abstract of the draft is as follows:

   This document specifies an extension to Mobile IPv4 UDP encapsulation
   (RFC 3519) which enables optimization of overhead when UDP
   encapsulation is used, and most of the mobile node's data traffic is
   destined to one particular correspondent node.

Any feedback appreciated,

-Sami
