Title : Requirements of distributed mobility management

Abstract:
The traditional hierarchical structure of cellular networks has led
to deployment models which are heavily centralized. Mobility
management with centralized mobility anchoring in existing
hierarchical mobile networks is quite prone to suboptimal routing and
issues related to scalability. Centralized functions present a
single point of failure, and inevitably introduce longer delays and
higher signaling loads for network operations related to mobility
management. This document defines the requirements for distributed
mobility management for IPv6 deployment. The objectives are to match
the mobility deployment with the current trend in network evolution,
to improve scalability, to avoid single point of failure, to enable
transparency to upper layers only when needed, etc. The distributed
mobility management also needs to be compatible with existing network
deployments and end hosts, and be secured.
