Just a side note: As there was already some confusion during Vancouver meeting and the reference to the transient binding extensions (RFC6058) still shows up repeatedly, let me clarify one thing:
PFMIP6 and Transient Binding address different use cases, they have been specified to address different problem spaces. It's not appropriate to refer to these two unicast protocol extensions in the multicast space, in particular not in the context of the current Multimob discussion whether or not to go for one selected or 4 protocol specifications. marco >-----Original Message----- >From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On >Behalf Of Thomas C.
