Abstract

Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) is a network based mobility managementprotocol that enables IP mobility for a host without requiring itsparticipation in any mobility-related signaling. PMIPv6 requires allcommunications to go through the local mobility anchor. As this canbe suboptimal, Localized Routing (LR) allows Mobile Nodes (MNs) attached tothe same or different Mobile Access Gateways (MAGs) to route traffic byusing localized forwarding or a direct tunnel between the gateways.This document proposes initiation, utilization, and terminationmechanisms for localized routing between mobile access gatewayswithin a proxy mobile IPv6 domain. It defines two new signalingmessages, Localized Routing Initiation (LRI) and Local RoutingAcknowledgment (LRA), that are used to realize this mechanism.[STANDARDS-TRACK]
