[Mip4] Multi-Interface Routing for Mobile Terminals - MIP4

["K. Srinivasa" <krsriniva at gmail.com>]

Hello WG,

We have submitted a draft on multiple interface support before IETF64. It is in the archives.
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-srinivasa-mip4-mir-00.txt
                                                                               
Slides from IETF64
     http://www3.ietf.org/proceedings/05nov/slides/mip4-6.pdf
                                                                               
I request the WG to read this and provide some feedback. I believe that sufficient thought 
and work that went into this work and we want this work to be used as a basis for the 
defining a solution for Multi-Interface Routing for MIP4 problem.
                                                                               
Some thoughts:
                                                                              
 
 -   This solution of aggregating multiple tunnels for a larger bandwidth solves a practical problem 
    and is required for deploying video application. It is important that we standardise these extensions
    on the home
agent.                                                                           
 
                                                                
 -  We believe that the work we did is sufficiently generic and can be adopted as a WG item. If 
    there is any thing that is missing in this document, we can certainly fix it. We want some 
    feedback. We want to understand atleast one techincal issue  ? We believe this is a solid
    work and should be adopted as a WG document.
  
 -  Can the MIP4 WG extend its current charter to take up this work ? Monami6 is focussed on 

   solutions for MIP6 and it is important that we solve this problem in the MIP4 WG.
                          
 - We also plan to open up our implementation that we did for Linux as a  reference 
   implementation. 
                                                                              
 
Please read this draft and provide some comments.
