Mobility with Traversal Using Relays around NAT
RFC 8016, “Mobility with Traversal Using Relays around NAT”, is a Proposed Standard document published in November 2016 by T. Reddy, D. Wing, P. Patil, P. Martinsen. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
It is desirable to minimize traffic disruption caused by changing IP address during a mobility event. One mechanism to minimize disruption is to expose a shorter network path to the mobility event so that only the local network elements are aware of the changed IP address and the remote peer is unaware of the changed IP address.
This document provides such an IP address mobility solution using Traversal Using Relays around NAT (TURN). This is achieved by allowing a client to retain an allocation on the TURN server when the IP address of the client changes.
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.
