Abstract

Distributed Mobility Management solutions allow networks to be set upin such a way that traffic is distributed optimally and centrallydeployed anchors are not relied upon to provide IP mobility support.

There are many different approaches to address Distributed MobilityManagement -- for example, extending network-based mobility protocols(like Proxy Mobile IPv6) or client-based mobility protocols (likeMobile IPv6), among others. This document follows the former approachand proposes a solution based on Proxy Mobile IPv6, in which mobilitysessions are anchored at the last IP hop router (called the mobilityanchor and access router). The mobility anchor and access router isan enhanced access router that is also able to operate as a localmobility anchor or mobility access gateway on a per-prefix basis. Thedocument focuses on the required extensions to effectively supportthe simultaneous anchoring several flows at different distributedgateways.
