Network Mobility Extensions for Mobile IPv4
RFC 5177, “Network Mobility Extensions for Mobile IPv4”, is a Proposed Standard document published in April 2008 by K. Leung, G. Dommety, V. Narayanan, A. Petrescu. It has since been updated by RFC 6626. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes a protocol for supporting Mobile Networks between a Mobile Router and a Home Agent by extending the Mobile IPv4 protocol. A Mobile Router is responsible for the mobility of one or more network segments or subnets moving together. The Mobile Router hides its mobility from the nodes on the Mobile Network. The nodes on the Mobile Network may be fixed in relationship to the Mobile Router and may not have any mobility function.
Extensions to Mobile IPv4 are introduced to support Mobile Networks. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
