All,
Is there an accurate overview on host based solutions?
The overview Brian Carpenter posted in Augustus 2007
(http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/rrg/current/msg00294.html),
HIP is missing. IMHO, info for MIP6 it is partly correct.
I think Shim6 is correct, I did not verify the others.
Old table:
> SHIM6 Six/ Mobile LISP- LISP- eFIT- Ivip
> One IPv6 NERD CONS APT
>
> Address
> portability Y Y Y Y
>
> Multihoming Y Y Y Y Y Y
>
> Mobility Y Y*
>
> IPv4 too Y Y Y Y
>
> No host Y Y Y Y*
> changes

> * Mobile IPv4 or IPv6 hosts making use of Ivip will need new host
On MIP6:
- Address portability: one could "lease" an EID and HA functions
and run sessions with CoA as much as possible (RO).
- Multihoming: We have RO and dual MCoA tunnels is on its way
(I-D.ietf-monami6-multiplecoa).
- IPv4 too: There is DSMIP (almost finished) for IPv4 support
(could be used for reaching v4 hosts where nodes in v6-only
Network, CN - HA is IPv4 & IPv6).
- No host changes: MIP6 itself is optional, but RO support
is a SHOULD. NEMO can be used for hosts that lack MIP6
support.
So one could say MIP6 is full Y (with remarks). IMHO it is hosts based
map&encap and works in many conditions.
I think Shim6 is complementary to HIP and MIP6. This is not shown in the table.
Updated table:
HIP SHIM6 Six/ Mobile LISP- LISP- eFIT- Ivip
One IPv6 NERD CONS APT
Address
portability y Y2 Y Y Y Y
Multihoming y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y
Mobility y Y Y1
IPv4 too y Y Y Y Y Y
No host Y3* Y Y Y Y1
changes
1: Mobile IPv4 or IPv6 hosts making use of Ivip will need new host
2: PI Home Address used as EID needs some form of Home Agent provider
3: Corresponding Node functionality assumed on all IPv6 hosts, MIP6
/NEMO assumed for nodes that need Loc/ID split.
HIP info is to be verified by an expert.
Maybe there is another resource providing a more complete overview.
Teco.
