Re: [MEXT] A few findings on the binding revocation draft

[Julien Laganier <julien.laganier.ietf at googlemail.com>]

Hello Ahmad,

Another finding in 9.1.1. Sending Binding Revocation Indication:

   When the mobile node is registered with an IPv4 proxy home address in
   addition to the Home Network Prefix where both of the IPv4 pHoA and
   HNP are bound to the same proxy CoA, the local mobility anchor MAY
   revoke the mobile node IPv4 proxy HoA binding to the current mobile
   node proxy CoA while maintaining the mobile node binding of the HNP
   to its current pCoA as part of the mobile node BCE.  In this case, if
   the LMA decides to revoke the mobile node IPv4 proxy HoA ONLY, the
   LMA MUST sends a BRI message following the procedure in Section 7.1
   and the following rules:

   o  The Acknowledge (A) bit MUST be set in the BRI to request the MAG
      to send a BRA message.

   o  The Revocation Trigger field MUST be set to "IPv4 HoA Binding
      ONLY".

But the "IPv4 HoA Binding ONLY" revocation trigger isn't listed in 6.1.  
Binding Revocation Indication Message:

   Revocation Trigger

      8-bit unsigned integer indicting the event which triggered the
      revoking node to send the BRI message.  The following Revocation
      Trigger values are currently defined:

          0  Reserved.
          1  Unspecified.
          2  Administrative Reason.
          3  Inter-MAG Handoff - same Access Types.
          4  Inter-MAG Handoff - different Access Types.
          5  Inter-MAG - Unknown Handoff.
          6  Per-Peer Policy.
          7  Revoking Node Local Policy.
          8  User Initiated Session(s) Termination.
          9  Access Network Session(s) Termination.
          10  Possible Out-of Sync BCE State.
          250-255 Reserved For Testing Purposes only.
          All other values are Reserved.

Cheers,
