Hi Danny,

Let me know what I can do to help with the mobile router part.

Thanks - Fred

Hi Fred,



I think we should explore prefix delegation as well. I am not familiar enough 
if router requirements for prefix delegation and thus would appreciate your 
help - please describe a use-case and we can evaluate it.



I can also think of a use-case for mobile hosts and Sustained IP addresses:

In the past, I presented a scenario is which it is preferable to anchor an IP 
flow in an anchor that is not necessarily the closest to the mobile node 
(please refer to draft-aliahmad-dmm-anchor-selection-01). This situation can be 
detected either by the network or by the mobile node.



If we want to enable mobile nodes to select a preferred anchor, we need to 
provide means for mobile nodes to express the desired selection. One way is 
enable mobile nodes to request a specific anchor by indicating an IP prefix 
that was provided by that anchor in the past. This could be done by 'hinting' 
the preferred IP prefix (rather than a specific IP address).



Clearly there is more work to be done on this draft and we are welcoming help 
from anyone in the group. Can you help us with the router part?



Thanks,

                /Danny

Subject: [DMM] question on 'draft-moses-dmm-dhcp-ondemand-mobility'



Hi Danny and Alper,



In this draft, you seem to be considering only DHCPv6 address delegation for 
when the node is acting as a mobile host. I am wondering if there are similar 
considerations for DHCPv6 prefix delegation for when the node is acting as a 
mobile router.



But then, I wonder whether any type of prefix delegation other than a fixed 
prefix makes any sense. For example, if the mobile router received a nomadic 
prefix delegation, would it need to renumber its connected networks every time 
it moves and receives a new nomadic prefix?



Should this document discuss prefix delegation considerations for mobile 
routers, or only address delegation for mobile hosts?



Thanks - Fred
