Title : Requirements for Distributed Mobility Management
Author(s) : H Anthony Chan

Abstract:
This document defines the requirements for Distributed Mobility
Management (DMM) in IPv6 deployments. The traditionally hierarchical
structure of cellular networks has led to deployment models which are
in practice centralized. Mobility management with logically
centralized mobility anchoring in current mobile networks is prone to
suboptimal routing and raises scalability issues. Such centralized
functions can lead to single points of failure and inevitably
introduce longer delays and higher signaling loads for network
operations related to mobility management. The objective is to
enhance mobility management in order to meet the primary goals in
network evolution, i.e., improve scalability, avoid single points of
failure, enable transparent mobility support to upper layers only
when needed, and so on. Distributed mobility management must be
secure and compatible with existing network deployments and end
hosts.
