Hi Erik,

Great questions. A MNP-bearing client locates candidate s-ASBRs either through a
static map (e.g., an “/etc/hosts” file) or via the DNS. The idea is to locate 
an s-ASBR
that is regionally “close” to the client. For example, a client in Seattle 
would want
to associate with an s-ASBR in the Pacific Northwest rather than one in Eastern
Europe (although it would still work – just with sub-optimal routes). Clients do
not locate Proxys, however; the Proxy is a transparent bump-in-the-wire on
the path to the s-ASBR.

About client associations with s-ASBRs, the mechanisms are not BGP-based but
instead use a mobile routing service like MIPv6, LISP or AERO. So, the s-ASBRs
shield the BGP routing system from mobility churn caused by clients moving
between data link attachment points.

About administrative boundaries, the assumption is that all s-ASBRs and
c-ASBRs would be deployed and managed by the Mobility Service Provider.
What may not have come across from the document, however is that all
*-ASBRs could live as VMs in the cloud and do not necessarily need to be
big-iron router or server hardware.

Thanks - Fred

Fred,

Happy New Year.

I'm not currently tracking rtgwg, so perhaps this is already addressed in 
discussion of there.  (And perhaps I should move dmm@ to bcc...)

How does a MNP-bearing node (client) locate candidate s-ASBRs (similarly how 
does it locate a proxy)? And does the client try to form an eBGP session with 
the s-ASBR or use something else?

I was also not clear on where administrative boundaries are in the various 
diagrams (though I assumed at least that c-ASBRs are within the MSP-owners 
administrative domain).

Thanks,
-Erik

Hello, and Happy New Year,

We have articulated what is essentially a Distributed Mobility Management (DMM)
service for the next-generation civil aviation Aeronautical Telecommunications
Network with Internet Protocol Services (ATN/IPS):

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-rtgwg-atn-bgp/

This work tracks the progress of the International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO), and is a working group item of the IETF RTGWG.

The way it works is that there is a hub-and-spokes BGP overlay routing service
that interconnects potentially many mobility anchor points. Each anchor point is
responsible for mobility management for a constituent set of mobile nodes
(e.g., aircraft), such that the system as a whole supports large-scale DMM.

We think this document is in the correct home in RTGWG, but I just thought
I would start out the year by sensitizing the DMM community. Any thoughts
or comments are welcome.

Thanks - Fred
