Home Network Prefix Renumbering in Proxy Mobile IPv6
RFC 8191, “Home Network Prefix Renumbering in Proxy Mobile IPv6”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2017 by Z. Yan, J. Lee, X. Lee. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
In the basic Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) specification, a Mobile Node (MN) is assigned with a Home Network Prefix (HNP) during its initial attachment, and the MN configures its Home Address (HoA) with the HNP. During the movement of the MN, the HNP remains unchanged to keep ongoing communications associated with the HoA. However, the current PMIPv6 specification does not specify related operations when HNP renumbering has occurred (e.g., due to change of service provider or site topology, etc.). In this document, a solution to support HNP renumbering is proposed, as an optional extension of the PMIPv6 specification.
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.
