Abstract

Multicast communication can be enabled in Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6)domains via the Local Mobility Anchors by deploying MulticastListener Discovery (MLD) proxy functions at Mobile Access Gateways,by using direct traffic distribution within an ISP's access network,or by selective route optimization schemes. This document describesa base solution and an experimental protocol to support mobilemulticast senders in PMIPv6 domains for all three scenarios.Protocol optimizations for synchronizing PMIPv6 with PIM, as well asa peering function for MLD proxies are defined. Mobile sourcesalways remain agnostic of multicast mobility operations.
