Final Charter for Working Group

  • Capture the AAA requirements needed for bootstrapping and
    deployment, and work with the Radext and DiME WGs on the solutions.

  • A Solution for MIP6 session continuity for dual stack hosts which
    attach to IPv4 access networks. Additionally provide a mechanism
    for carrying IPv4 packets via the Home agent for MIP6 capable
    dual-stack hosts. This work will be done in collaboration with the
    NEMO WG.

  • A protocol based solution for enhancing the reliability of home
    agents and a method to force a host to switch home agents.

  • A mechanism to force an MN to switch the HA that is currently
    serving it. This is required in deployments where the HA may need
    to be taken offline for maintenance.

  • Work on solutions to deal with firewalls and the problems that
    firewalls cause as identified in RFC 4487.

  • Work items related to informational documentation include:

    • Produce a problem statement relating to location privacy and the
      use of Mobile IPv6. Work with the IRTF MOBOPTS RG on developing the
      solution.

    • Produce a design rationale that documents the historical
      thinking behind the introduction of an alternative security
      mechanism, the Authentication Protocol (RFC 4285).

    It should be noted that some of the features that are directly related
    to Mobile IPv6 are being worked on in the MONAMI6, MIPSHOP, and NEMO
    working groups. The specific extensions from these groups are out of
    scope for the MIP6 working group. In particular, all optimizations are
    out of scope. However, MIP6 may assist these groups when they use
    features listed above and have requirements on them.
