Flow-Binding Support for Mobile IP
RFC 7629, “Flow-Binding Support for Mobile IP”, is an Experimental document published in August 2015 by S. Gundavelli, K. Leung, G. Tsirtsis, A. Petrescu. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This specification defines extensions to the Mobile IP protocol for allowing a mobile node with multiple interfaces to register a care-of address for each of its network interfaces and to simultaneously establish multiple IP tunnels with its home agent. This essentially allows the mobile node to utilize all the available network interfaces and build a higher aggregated logical pipe with its home agent for its home address traffic. Furthermore, these extensions also allow the mobile node and the home agent to negotiate IP traffic flow policies for binding individual flows with the registered care-of addresses.
