Hi Antony:

The last part of PS-5, does the sentence " Network resources are also 
wasted when the via routes are set up for many MNs that do not require IP 
mobility support." implicitly indicate the scenario which similar with 
MIP/PMIP? 
When I read this sentence, the MIP/PMIP tunnel appears in my mind, and 
yes, if MNs do not require IP mobiliy support, the  MIP/PMIP tunnel will 
waste network resources.

Cheers.

[DMM] draft requirement REQ-2: Transparency to Upper Layers






REQ-2: Transparency to Upper Layers
The DMM solutions SHALL enable transparency above the IP layer. Such 
transparency is needed for the application flows that cannot cope with a 
change of IP address and when mobile hosts or entire mobile networks 
change their point of attachment to the Internet, but SHOULD NOT be taken 
as the default behavior.
 
REQ-2M (Motivation for REQ-2)
The goal of this requirement is to 
enable more efficient use of network resources and more efficient routing 
by not invoking mobility support when there is no such need.
 
RELEVANT problem:
PS5: Wasting resources to support mobile nodes not needing mobility 
support
IP mobility support is not always required. For example, some applications 
do not need a stable IP address during handover, i.e. IP session 
continuity. Sometimes, the entire application session runs while the 
terminal does not change the point of attachment. In these situations that 
do not require IP mobility support, network resources are wasted when 
mobility context is set up. Network resources are also wasted when the via 
routes are set up for many MNs that do not require IP mobility support.
 
OTHER related problem
O-PS1: Mobility signaling overhead with peer-to-peer communication
While mobility management enables a mobile host to be reachable, the hosts 
may then communicate directly so that the mobility support is no longer 
needed. Taking the need of mobility support as the default behavior will 
waste network resources. 
O-PS2: Lack of user-centricity
Centralized deployment compared with distributed mobility management may 
be less capable to support user-centricity. Example in the lack of 
user-centricity is to provide mobility support to all mobile nodes by 
default regardless of whether the user needs it or not.
 
(The above has been drafted with contributions, inputs and discussions 
from various people. Additional contributions and comments are most 
welcome.)
