Technical Summary:
This specification defines extensions to Proxy Mobile IPv6 protocol
for allowing a mobile router in a Proxy Mobile IPv6 domain to obtain
delegated IP prefixes for its attached mobile networks. The mobility
entities in the network will provide network-based mobility
management support for those delegated IP prefixes just as how IP
mobility support is provided for the mobile node's home address.
Even as the mobile router performs a handoff and changes its network
point of attachment, mobility support is ensured for all the
delegated IP prefixes and for all the IP nodes in the mobile network
that use IP address configuration from those delegated IP prefixes.
Working Group Summary:
The working group has discussed this I-D at length. Comments by
Alexandru Petrescu
(http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/netext/current/msg02815.html)
claimed that the proposal was similar to work being done in other
working groups. However the working group members believe that this
extension is essential for Proxy Mobile IPv6 and hence needs to be
published on its own.
Document Quality:
The document has been reviewed extensively and revised as a result
of these reviews. The quality of the document at this time is good
and ready for IESG review.
No known implementations of this extension to the Proxy Mobile IPv6
protocol exist. However a few vendors have expressed plans to
implement it.
All reviewers have been appropriately acknowledged in the I-D.
