The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'Reverse Tunneling for Mobile IP, revised' <draft-ietf-mobileip-rfc2344-bis-02.txt> as a Proposed Standard. This document obsoletes RFC2344, currently a Proposed Standard. This document is the product of the IP Routing for Wireless/Mobile Hosts Working Group. The IESG contact persons are David Oran and Rob Coltun. Technical Summary RFC2344 specified the process of supporting a reverse tunnel from the care-of-address to the home agent. It proposes backwards-compatible extensions to Mobile IP to support topologically correct reverse tunnels. The document has been updated to provide a solution for mobile nodes that belong in private address domains. Working Group Summary --------------------- The WG has completed a last call on version 2 of the document. The last call was issued in the 3rd week of July. No issues have been raised and the author believes the document is done. The WG looked at different solutions to address the problem of private address spaces in Mobile IP and decided on updating RFC2344 to be the prefered mechanism. The draft has undergone a couple of revisions and has been discussed at more than 1 IETF meeting. Protocol Quality ---------------- The updates to the current RFC (2344) are basically in the appendix and offers a solution for dealing with private address spaces. No changes to the protocol itself have been made. Note to RFC Editor: Please include "This document obsoletes RFC2344" in the text of the document when published. Also, please move the appendices from the middle of the document to the end of the document. Finally, please remove the "Changes from Previous Version of the Draft" section prior to publication.
