"Multiple Care-of Addresses Registration", Ryuji Wakikawa, Vijay Devarapalli, George Tsirtsis, Thierry Ernst, Kenichi Nagami, 27-May-09. ( 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, 13-Jul-09. ( bytes)

The home agent can be a single point of failure when Mobile IPv6 is operated 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.

"Network Mobility Route Optimization Requirements for Operational Use in Aeronautics and Space Exploration Mobile Networks", Wesley Eddy, Will Ivancic, Terry Davis, 4-Aug-09. ( bytes)

This document describes the requirements and desired properties of Network Mobility (NEMO) Route Optimization techniques for use in global networked communications systems for aeronautics and space exploration. Substantial input to these requirements was given by aeronautical communications experts outside the IETF, including members of the International Civil Aviation Orgnanization (ICAO) and other aeronautical communications standards bodies.

"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.

"Flow Bindings in Mobile IPv6 and NEMO Basic Support", Hesham Soliman, Nicolas Montavont, Koojana Kuladinithi, 13-Jul-09. ( bytes)

This document introduces extensions to Mobile IPv6 that allow nodes to bind one or more flows to a care-of address. These extensions allow multihomed nodes to instruct home agents and other Mobile IPv6 entities to direct inbound flows to specific addresses.

"Mobility Support in IPv6", Dave Johnson, Charles Perkins, Jari Arkko, 13-Jul-09. ( bytes)

This document specifies a protocol which allows nodes to remain reachable while moving around in the IPv6 Internet. Each mobile node is always identified by its home address, regardless of its current point of attachment to the Internet. While situated away from its home, a mobile node is also associated with a care-of address, which provides information about the mobile node's current location. IPv6 packets addressed to a mobile node's home address are transparently routed to its care-of address. The protocol enables IPv6 nodes to cache the binding of a mobile node's home address with its care-of address, and to then send any packets destined for the mobile node directly to it at this care-of address. To support this operation, Mobile IPv6 defines a new IPv6 protocol and a new destination option. All IPv6 nodes, whether mobile or stationary, can communicate with mobile nodes.

"DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation for NEMO", Ralph Droms, Pascal Thubert, Francis Dupont, Wassim Haddad, 6-Mar-09. ( bytes)

One aspect of network mobility support is the assignment of a prefix or prefixes to a Mobile Router (MR) for use on the links in the Mobile Network. DHCPv6 prefix delegation can be used for this configuration task.

"Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility", Ahmad Muhanna, Mohamed Khalil, Sri Gundavelli, Kuntal Chowdhury, Parviz Yegani, 14-Jun-09. ( bytes)

This document defines a binding revocation mechanism to terminate a mobile node's mobility session and the associated resources. These semantics are generic enough and can be used by mobility entities in the case of Mobile IPv6 and its extensions. This mechanism allows the mobility entity which initiates the revocation procedure to request its corresponding one to terminate either one, multiple or all specified binding cache entries.

"Guidelines for firewall administrators regarding MIPv6 traffic", Suresh Krishnan, Niklas Steinleitner, QIU Ying, Gabor Bajko, 19-May-09. ( bytes)

This document presents some recommendations for firewall administrators to help them configure their existing firewalls in a way that allows in certain deployment scenarios the Mobile IPv6 signaling and data messages to pass through. For other scenarios, the support of additional mechanisms to create pinholes required for MIPv6 will be necessary. This document assumes that the firewalls in question include some kind of stateful packet filtering capability.

"Guidelines for firewall vendors regarding MIPv6 traffic", Suresh Krishnan, Yaron Sheffer, Niklas Steinleitner, Gabor Bajko, 18-May-09. ( bytes)

This document presents some recommendations for firewall vendors to help them implement their firewalls in a way that allows Mobile IPv6 signaling and data messages to pass through. This document describes how to implement stateful packet filtering capability for MIPv6.

"Binary Traffic Selectors for FB", George Tsirtsis, Gerardo Giaretta, Hesham Soliman, Nicolas Montavont, 29-Jul-09. ( bytes)

This document defines binary format for IPv4 and IPv6 traffic selectors to be used in conjuction with flow bindings for Mobile IPv6.
