Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 Mobility Management

Overview

RFC 5380, “Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 Mobility Management”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2008 by H. Soliman, C. Castelluccia, K. ElMalki, L. Bellier. It obsoletes RFC 4140. 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. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
