Home Agent-Assisted Route Optimization between Mobile IPv4 Networks
RFC 6521, “Home Agent-Assisted Route Optimization between Mobile IPv4 Networks”, is an Experimental document published in March 2012 by A. Makela, J. Korhonen. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes a home agent-assisted route optimization functionality for the IPv4 Network Mobility Protocol. The function is designed to facilitate optimal routing in cases where all nodes are connected to a single home agent; thus, the use case is route optimization within a single organization or similar entity. The functionality enables the discovery of eligible peer nodes (based on information received from the home agent) and their network prefixes, and the establishment of a direct tunnel between such nodes. This document defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
What “Experimental” means
Describes a specification that is part of a research or development effort, published so the community can gain experience with it.
