Extensions to the Proxy Mobile IPv6 Access Network Identifier Option
RFC 7563, “Extensions to the Proxy Mobile IPv6 Access Network Identifier Option”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2015 by R. Pazhyannur, S. Speicher, S. Gundavelli, J. Korhonen, J. Kaippallimalil. It updates RFC 6757. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Access Network Identifier (ANI) mobility option was introduced in RFC 6757, "Access Network Identifier (ANI) Option for Proxy Mobile IPv6". This enables a Mobile Access Gateway (MAG) to convey identifiers like the network identifier, geolocation, and operator identifier. This specification extends the Access Network Identifier mobility option with sub-options to carry the civic location and the MAG group identifier. This specification also defines an ANI Update-Timer sub-option that determines when and how often the ANI option will be updated.
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.
