With the natural convergence of wireless communications and Internet technology, mobile real-time services such as wireless mobile Internet telephony will be ubiquitous. Since the emerging Third Generation (3G) wireless networks will adopt Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), simultaneous Quality of Service (QoS) and mobility support in IPv6 is becoming an imperative need. The Internet Engineeri...

Large Proxy Mobile IPv6 deployments would benefit from a functionality where a Mobile Access Gateway could dynamically discover a Local Mobility Anchor for a Mobile Node attaching to a Proxy Mobile IPv6 domain. The purpose of the dynamic discovery functionality is to reduce the amount of static configuration in the Mobile Access Gateway. This document describes several possible dynamic Local Mo...

A Mobile IPv6 node requires a Home Agent address, a home address, and IPsec security associations with its Home Agent before it can start utilizing Mobile IPv6 service. RFC 3775 requires that some or all of these are statically configured. This document defines how a Mobile IPv6 node can bootstrap this information from non-topological information and security credentials pre-configured on the M...

Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6; RFC 3775) provides a mobile node with IP mobility when it performs a handover from one access router to another, and fast handovers for Mobile IPv6 (FMIPv6) are specified to enhance the handover performance in terms of latency and packet loss. While MIPv6 (and FMIPv6 as well) requires the participation of the mobile node in the mobility-related signaling, Proxy Mobile IPv6 (...

In Proxy Mobile IPv6, packets received from a Mobile Node (MN) by the Mobile Access Gateway (MAG) to which it is attached are typically tunneled to a Local Mobility Anchor (LMA) for routing. The term "localized routing" refers to a method by which packets are routed directly between an MN’s MAG and the MAG of its Correspondent Node (CN) without involving any LMA. In a Proxy Mobile IPv6 deployme...

This document describes Mobile IPv6 operation with the revised IPsec architecture and IKEv2. Devarapalli & Dupont Standards Track [Page 1] RFC 4877 Mobile IPv6 with IKEv2 and IPsec April 2007 Table of

This paper presents the autoconfiguration technology that can be used for lots of network services including multimedia services in IPv6-based mobile ad-hoc network. A mobile node gets a unique unicast address through IPv6 unicast address autoconfiguration, some applications on the mobile node that need multicast address allocation can get a unique multicast address through IPv6 multicast addre...

This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Abstract This document captures the issues that may arise in the deployment of IPv6 networks when they support Mobile IPv6 and firewalls. The issues are not only applicable to firewalls protecting enterprise networks, but are also applicable in...

This document specifies a protocol which allows nodes to remain reachable while moving around in the IPv6 Internet. Each mobile node is always identified by its home address, regardless of its current point of attachment to the Internet. While situated away from its home, a mobile node is also associated with a care-of address, which provides information about the mobile node’s current location...

The number of mobile computers is increasing at a phenomenal rate, and efficient support for mobility will make a decisive difference to the Internet's future performance. This, along with the growing importance of the Internet and the web indicates the need to pay attention to supporting mobility. Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) is a protocol to deal with mobility for the next generation Internet (IPv6). ...
