Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 Mobility Management
RFC 4140, “Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 Mobility Management”, is an Experimental document published in August 2005 by H. Soliman, C. Castelluccia, K. El Malki, L. Bellier. It has been obsoleted by RFC 5380 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document introduces extensions to Mobile IPv6 and IPv6 Neighbour Discovery to allow for local mobility handling. Hierarchical mobility management for Mobile IPv6 is designed to reduce the amount of signalling between the Mobile Node, its Correspondent Nodes, and its Home Agent. The Mobility Anchor Point (MAP) described in this document can also be used to improve the performance of Mobile IPv6 in terms of handover speed. This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
What “Experimental” means
