As follow up of a discussion during last IETF meeting with some of you, we posted a new draft about an initial functional framework for DMM. We think that discussing BCP and gaps can be supported by using well defined functional entities (FE) and reference points to enable DMM. Different constellations of FEs can match architectures of existing protocols and gaps as well as strengths or weak points of the associated architecture/protocol can be easily identified.
The current version provides a basic set of FEs and interfaces and depicts two key models as starting point to group FEs according to the WG's current understanding how DMM may be solved. Any opinion about the proposed framework and approach as well as contributions to an updated version of this draft are appreciated.

Filename: draft-liebsch-dmm-framework-analysis Revision: 00 Title: Distributed Mobility Management - Framework & Analysis Creation date: 2012-10-15 WG ID: Individual Submission Number of pages: 16 URL: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-liebsch-dmm-framework-analysis-00.txt Status: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-liebsch-dmm-framework-analysis Htmlized: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-liebsch-dmm-framework-analysis-00 Abstract: Mobile operators consider the distribution of mobility anchors to enable offloading some traffic from their core network. The Distributed Mobility Management (DMM) Working Group is investigating the impact of decentralized mobility management to existing protocol solutions, while taking into account well defined requirements, which are to be met by a future solution. This document discusses DMM using a functional framework. Functional Entities to support DMM as well as reference points between these Functional Entities are introduced and described. The described functional framework allows distribution and co-location of Functional Entities and build a DMM architecture that matches the architecture of available protocols. Such methodology eases the analysis of best current practices with regard to functional and protocol gaps. _______________________________________________ dmm mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dmm
