Mobile Access Gateway Multipath Options
RFC 8278, “Mobile Access Gateway Multipath Options”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2018 by P. Seite, A. Yegin, S. Gundavelli. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This specification defines extensions to the Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) protocol that allow a mobile access gateway (MAG) to register more than one proxy care-of address (pCoA) with the local mobility anchor (LMA) and to simultaneously establish multiple IP tunnels with the LMA. This capability allows the MAG to utilize all the available access networks to route the mobile node's IP traffic. This document defines the following two new mobility header options: the MAG Multipath Binding option and the MAG Identifier option.
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.
