Proxy Mobile IPv6 Extensions to Support Flow Mobility

Overview

RFC 7864, “Proxy Mobile IPv6 Extensions to Support Flow Mobility”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2016 by CJ. Bernardos. It updates RFC 5213. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) allows a mobile node to connect to the same PMIPv6 domain through different interfaces. This document describes extensions to the PMIPv6 protocol that are required to support network-based flow mobility over multiple physical interfaces.

This document updates RFC 5213. The extensions described in this document consist of the operations performed by the local mobility anchor and the mobile access gateway to manage the prefixes assigned to the different interfaces of the mobile node, as well as how the forwarding policies are handled by the network to ensure consistent flow mobility management.

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.
