<section title="Introduction">
<t>Access network idenfication of a network device has a range of
application. The local mobility anchor in a Proxy Mobile IPv6 domain is
able to provide access network and access operator specific handling or
policing of the mobile node traffic using information about the access
network to which the mobile node is attached.</t>
<t>This document specifies Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol v4
(DHCPv4) <xref target="RFC2131"></xref> and Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol v6 (DHCPv6) <xref target="RFC3315"></xref> options for access
network identification that is added by Client or Relay agent in the
DHCPv4 or DHCPv6 messages towards the Server.</t>
<t>Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client or DHCP relay agent
aware of the access network and access operator add this information in
the DHCP messages. DHCP relay agent or DHCP server in the mobile access
gateway can pass this information towards local mobility anchor either
via Proxy Mobile IPv6 signalling or by relaying the DHCP messages to
DHCP entity within the local mobility anchor.</t>
</section>
<section title="Motivation">
<t>Proxy mobile IPv6 <xref target="RFC5213"></xref> can be used for
supporting network-based mobility management in various type of network
deployments. The network architectures, such as Service provider Wi-Fi
access aggregation or, WLAN integrated mobile packet core are examples
where Proxy Mobile IPv6 is a component of the overall architecture. Some
of these architectures require the ability of the local mobility anchor
(LMA) <xref target="RFC5213"></xref> to provide differentiated services
and policing of traffic to the mobile nodes based on the access network
to which they are attached. Policy systems in mobility architectures
such as PCC <xref target="TS23203"></xref> and ANDSF <xref
target="TS23402"></xref> in 3GPP system allow configuration of policy
rules with conditions based on the access network information. For
example, the service treatment for the mobile node's traffic may be
different when they are attached to a access network owned by the home
operator than when owned by a roaming partner. The service treatment can
also be different based on the configured Service Set Identifiers (SSID)
in case of IEEE 802.11 based access networks. Other examples of services
include the operator's ability to apply tariff based on the
location.</t>
<t>The PMIPv6 extension as specified in <xref
target="I-D.ietf-netext-access-network-option"></xref> defines PMIPv6
options to carry access network identifiers in PMIPv6 signalling from
Mobile Access Gateway (MAG) to LMA. MAG can learn this information from
DHCP options as inserted by DHCP client or Relay agent before MAG. If
MAG relays DHCP messages to LMA as specified in <xref
target="RFC5844"></xref> this information can be inserted by MAG towards
LMA in the forwarded DHCP messages.</t>
<t>Figure 1 illustrates an example Proxy Mobile IPv6 deployment where
Acess Points (AP) inserts access network identifiers in DHCP messages.
The mobile access gateway learns this information over DHCP and delivers
the information elements related to the access network to the local
mobility anchor over Proxy Mobile IPv6 signaling messages. In this
example, the additional information could comprise the SSID of the used
IEEE 802.11 network and the identities of the operators running the IEEE
802.11 access network infrastructure.</t>

<section title="Terminology">
<t>All the DHCP related terms used in this document to be interpreted as
defined in the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol v4 (DHCPv4) <xref
target="RFC2131"></xref> and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol v6
(DHCPv6) <xref target="RFC3315"></xref> specifications. DHCP refers to
both DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 messages and entities throughout this
document.</t>
<t>All the mobility related terms used in this document are to be
interpreted as defined in the Proxy Mobile IPv6 specifications <xref
target="RFC5213"></xref> and <xref target="RFC5844"></xref>.
Additionally, this document uses the following abbreviations:</t>
<t>Service Set Identifier Service Set Identifier (SSID) identifies the
name of the IEEE 802.11 network. SSID differentiates from one network to
the other.</t>
<t>Vendor ID The Vendor ID is the SMI Network Management Private
Enterprise Code of the IANA-maintained Private Enterprise Numbers
registry <xref target="SMI"></xref>.</t>

<!-- There are 2 ways to insert reference entries from the citation libraries:
1. define an ENTITY at the top, and use "ampersand character"RFC2629; here (as shown)
2. simply use a PI "less than character"?rfc include="reference.RFC.2119.xml"?> here
(for I-Ds: include="reference.I-D.narten-iana-considerations-rfc2434bis.xml")
Both are cited textually in the same manner: by using xref elements.
If you use the PI option, xml2rfc will, by default, try to find included files in the same
directory as the including file. You can also define the XML_LIBRARY environment variable
with a value containing a set of directories to search. These can be either in the local
filing system or remote ones accessed by http (http://domain/dir/... ).-->
