Generic Routing Encapsulation Key Option for Proxy Mobile IPv6

Overview

RFC 5845, “Generic Routing Encapsulation Key Option for Proxy Mobile IPv6”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2010 by A. Muhanna, M. Khalil, S. Gundavelli, K. Leung. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This specification defines a new mobility option for allowing the mobile access gateway and the local mobility anchor to negotiate Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) encapsulation mode and exchange the downlink and uplink GRE keys that are used for marking the downlink and uplink traffic that belong to a specific mobility session. In addition, the same mobility option can be used to negotiate the GRE encapsulation mode without exchanging the GRE keys. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
