Abstract

   Proxy Mobile IPv6 is a network-based mobility protocol and is able to
   manage the mobility of an IP host as it moves across different points
   of attachment within the mobility domain.  The IP host whose mobility
   is being managed by the network is unaware of the existence of Proxy
   Mobile IPv6 in the network or mobility being managed on its behalf.
   This draft proposes mechanisms by which the host is informed of proxy

   mobile IPv6 support in a network that it attaches to as well as the
   ability for the host to discover such capability in the attached
   network.  The ability of the host to discover or be aware of proxy
   mobile IPv6 support in the network enables better decision making in
   terms of the type of mobility protocol used for IP mobility.

1.  Introduction and Scope

   Proxy Mobile IPv6 [I-D.ietf-netlmm-proxymip6] is a network-based
   mobility management protocol in which the host is not involved in any
   signaling to enable IP mobility as it moves and changes its point of
   attachment.  This feature complements the mobility protocols such as
   Mobile IPv6 [RFC3775] in which the host is involved in mobility
   management.  On the other hand, nodes that are capable for mobility
   management themselves (i.e., implement the MIP6 functionality in the
   IP stack) might not require such kind of service.

   PMIP6 protocol as specified in [I-D.ietf-netlmm-proxymip6] is
   applicable within the scope of a single PMIP6 domain.  However
   deployment scenarios may include a broader scope than a single
   domain.
   Scenarios where mobility is managed by the network are usually
   referred as running in Proxy MIP (PMIP) mode.  Analogously, when
   mobile nodes manage mobility themselves we are talking about host-
   based mobility.  There are several scenarios in which host-based
   Mobile IP and proxy MIP support co-exist in the same network.  For
   example:

   o  Different mobility modes within a single PMIP6 domain:
      In case of nomadic users, the network needs to provide mobility
      services simultaneously for nodes with and those without the
      built-in mobility support.  Each mobility mode, either PMIP6 or
      host-based MIP6, needs to be individually recognized and
      appropriately handled by the network.

   o  Session continuation accros different domains:
      Mobile node roaming in/out of the PMIP6 domain aims to continue
      the ongoing session either retaining or substituting the assigned
      mobility mode.  For example, MN running a MIP6 session in the
      network moves to a PMIP6-enabled domain.  Depending on the
      privileges and policies, the session is either continued using
      host-based mobility, or the network takes over the mobility
      management and begins handling the MN in the PMIP6 mode.

   Existing IPv6 mechanisms, such as Neighbor Discovery protocol (NDP)
   or DHCPv6, are currently insufficient for the purpose of mobility
   mode detection or capability negotiation.  This document proposes
   means by which the network can indicate its PMIP6 capabilities and
   provide specific configuration parameters to mobile nodes.  The
   proposal also proposes a method where MN can proactively participate
   in mobility management mode selection.

2.  Terminology

   The keywords "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

   PMIP6 prefix
   Prefix assigned to the MN while residing within the PMIP6 domain.
   Depending on the mobility scope this prefix can be assigned either by
   the LMA, or the HA.

   On-link prefix
   IPv6 prefix available for address autoconfiguration in the local
   domain, for example valid within a scope of a single AR/MAG.


3.  Problem Statement

   In the PMIP6 domain MN may use stateless address autoconfiguration
   (SLAAC) or DHCPv6 to configure its addresses.  The address
   configuration parameters provided to the MN MAY be different in cases
   when supporting PMIP6 or host-based MIP6.

   In case PMIP is used as a mechanism for global mobility or for
   emulating the home link to the MN, the network obtains the home
   prefix for the MN and provides the same to the MN.  Prefix is
   assigned to the MN for the entire session, and must be consistently
   advertised throughout the entire PMIP6 domain.

   For MIP6 capable nodes it is sufficient to supply any globallly
   routable local prefix (address) that MN will use to configure the
   care-of address (CoA) on its interface.

   The AR or MAG in an access network should be able to interpret the
   mobility preference of the host, in case such information is provided
   in router solicitation (RS) or a DHCP request.  NDP and DHCP messages
   as defined today cannot serve as specific PMIP6 mobility triggers.
   Furthermore, the profile associated with a user in AAA cannot really
   be used as an indication about the mobility protocol for the hosts as
   the device and capability may change.  For example: information that
   subscriber is allowed PMIP6 does not provide indication on what kind
   of terminal subscriber is actually using (does it implement MIP6), or
   would the MN rather engage the host-based mobility if able to.

   Explicit mechanisms and protocol extensions are needed to:
   o  enable the access network to advertise the PMIP6 feature and
      support to the hosts

Internet-Draft    draft-damic-netlmm-pmip6-ind-discover        June 2007


   o  provide the host with more reliable parameters allowing it to
      choose the mobility protocol based on its capabilities or other
      criteria
   o  allow MNs to signal their mobility mode preferences


4.  Proposed Solutions

   This document proposes extensions to the NDP and DHCP protocols that
   may serve as triggers for PMIP6 mobility selection.  These extensions
   include: a new indication flag in the RA, new options for the Router
   Advertisement and Router Solicitation messages, as well as new
   options for the related DHCP messages.

4.1.  PMIP6 indication in the Router Advertisment

   As per [I-D.haberman-ipv6-ra-flags-option] the AR may use a new
   option to expand the flags field in the Router Advertisement
   messages.  In case the access network does support PMIP6, new option
   may be used to explicitly indicate this capability.  By setting the
   "N" flag in the RA flag expansion option, AR advertises support for
   network-based mobility management, i.e., PMIP6 capability.

   Bits

      Router Advertisement bit 8 - the "N" flag
      To be assigned by IANA.  This bit is set by the AR to indicate the
      access network supports network-based mobility management, i.e.,
      PMIP6.
      Other bits are available for further assignment.

4.2.  PMIP6 Care-of Prefix Option

   The AR can include multiple IPv6 prefixes in a single RA message,
   with each prefix contained in an own Prefix Information Option.  In
   case the access network supports PMIP6, the AR MAY chose to
   simultaneoulsy advertise local on-link IPv6 prefixes, as well as
   specific PMIP6 prefix.  For this specific case, the two different
   types of prefixes SHOULD be cleary differentiated.

   In the PMIP6 domain, AR may either advertise on-link prefixes or the
   PMIP6 prefix within the RA's Prefix Information Option.  Assuming MN
   is allowed PMIP6 service, the AR SHALL advertise the individually
   assigned PMIP6 prefix as default, whereas one or more on-link
   prefixes will be included in the new PMIP6 Care-of Prefix option.

   Mobile nodes that are capable of processing the new PMIP6 Care-of
   Prefix option can use obtained information according to preferences
   and internal configuration.  If wishing to deploy host-based MIP6, MN
   SHOULD use the prefix from the PMIP6 Care-of Prefix option and
   autoconfigure MIP6 CoA.  Otherwise, MN SHALL configure PMIP6 MN-HoA
   from the Prefix Information Option.
   Node incapable understanding the new option SHALL ignore it.

   Fields:

   Type

      8-bit identifier for the PMIP6 Care-of Prefix option (to be
      assigned by IANA).

   Length  4

   Prefix Length

      8-bit unsigned integer.  The number of leading bits in the Prefix
      that are valid.  The value ranges from 0 to 128.

   Reserved1

      6-bit unused field.  It MUST be initialized to zero by the sender
      and MUST be ignored by the receiver.

   Valid Lifetime

      32-bit unsigned integer.  The length of time in seconds (relative
      to the time the packet is sent) that the prefix is valid for the
      purpose of on-link determination.  A value of all one bits
      (0xffffffff) represents infinity.  The Valid Lifetime is also used
      by [RFC2462].

   Preferred Lifetime

      32-bit unsigned integer.  The length of time in seconds (relative
      to the time the packet is sent) that addresses generated from the
      prefix via stateless address autoconfiguration remain preferred
      [RFC2462].  A value of all one bits (0xffffffff) represents
      infinity.  See [RFC2462].

   Reserved2

      This field is unused.  It MUST be initialized to zero by the
      sender and MUST be ignored by the receiver.

   PMIP6 CoA Prefix

      An IP address or a prefix of an IP address indicated as the PMIP6
      on-link prefix.  The Prefix Length field contains the number of
      valid leading bits in the prefix.  The bits in the prefix after
      the prefix length are reserved and MUST be initialized to zero by
      the sender and ignored by the receiver.  A router SHOULD NOT send
      a prefix option for the link-local prefix and a host SHOULD ignore
      such a prefix option.


   Description:

   The PMIP6 Care-of Prefix option provides host with an on-link prefix
   for stateless address autoconfiguration.
   The PMIP6 Care-of Prefix option appears in Router Advertisement
   packets only and MUST be silently ignored for other messages.


4.3.  Router Solicitation Mobility Mode Option

   Mobile node aware of different mobility modes may wish to explicitly
   notify the AR about its PMIP6 capabilities and embedded support.  A
   new Mobility Mode option in the RS message MAY be used for this
   purpose.

   Routers in the network not supporting PMIP6 or unable to process this
   option SHOULD ignore it.  Otherwise the AR MAY acquire the PMIP6
   prefix for the mobile node as well as available on-link prefixes, and
   supply this information in the responding Router Advertisment using
   the appropriate options.

4.4.  DHCPv6 extensions

   This section describes how a mobile node can use DHCP [RFC3315] to
   detect that it is located in the PMIP domain and to inform the AR of
   its preference to use PMIP6 or host-based MIP6 as a mobility
   management protocol.

   By using DHCP, mobile node and the AR are able to exchange following
   information:

   o  AR can let the mobile node know that the access network supports
      the PMIP6 protocol
   o  AR can inform the mobile node of the PMIP6 prefix
   o  mobile node can inform the AR wheather it should provide a PMIP6
      service to it or if the MN prefers to run MIP6 by itself

   Draft [I-D.ietf-mip6-hiopt] defines new DHCPv6 options used to
   facilitate bootstraping of a MIP6 based mobility service.  One of the
   options introduced by the draft is a Home Network Identifier option
   (OPTION_MIP6-HNID) by which the mobile node can request information
   about the home network and indicate its preference for the location
   of the HA: in the visited network or in the target network.

4.4.1.  Home Network Identifier Option

   The Home Network Identifier option is extended with an additional
   code to allow the mobile node to explicitely request information
   about the availability of the PMIP service at its current point of
   attachment.

      0    Visited domain (local ASP)
      1    The target network
      2    No preference
      3    PMIP domain

   When the mobile node wants to learn if the access network supports
   PMIP service, it SHALL include Home Network Option setting the id-
   type field to 3.  When the id-type is set to 3, the Home Network
   Identifier field MAY be set to 0 if the mobile node wants to learn
   about the PMIP support in the local domain.  Alternatively, if the
   mobile node wants to inquire about the support for PMIP service in a
   particular network, the mobile node MAY set the Home Network
   Identifier field to the network realm as FQDN.

   The mobile node can learn information about a particular network type
   by sending separate Information Request messages with different id-
   types.  If the mobile node wants to acquire the information about the
   visited network, target network and the PMIP domain in a single
   message exchange, it MAY include several Home Network Identifier
   options in the reguest message.  There may be several Home Network
   Identifier options with the id-type 1 and/or 3 in a single message.

4.4.2.  Home Network Information Option

   Draft [I-D.ietf-mip6-hiopt] defines a new DHCPv6 option Home Network
   Information option.  This option is used by the DHCP server to convey
   to the mobile node information about inquired network(s).  The
   information provided could be a home subnet prefix (one or more),
   home agent address(es) and home agent FQDN(s).  There is a separate
   suboption for each type of information provided (prefix, home agent
   address and home agent FQDN).

   If the id-type field of the Home Network Identifier option indicates
   the network which is not supported by this access network or if the
   mobile node is not authorized for the requested network, the DHCP
   server's reponse SHALL include the Home Network Information option
   with the option-len set to zero.

   If the mobile node inquiered information about the PMIP domain, the
   relevant information about the PMIP domain will be provided in the
   Home Network Information option.  In this case the only relevant
   information is prefix.  Since in PMIP mode the mobile node does not
   interact with the home agent directly, home agent's address and FQDN
   SHALL not be provided to the mobile node.

   If the access network wants to force the PMIP mode for the mobile
   node, it MAY respond to both visited domain and target domain(s)
   inquieris with a Home Network Information option containing the

   0-length data.

4.4.2.1.  Avoiding the premature prefix advertisment

   When the netlmm domain supports the DHCP extensions specified here,
   the AR may want to defer advertisment of the prefix until both the
   mobile node and network have exchanged their capabilites and
   preferences for a mobility management mode.  This can be achived by
   setting the 'M' or 'O' flag in Router Advertisment message forcing
   the mobile node to use DHCP.  In this way the AR can delay the prefix
   advertisment until the DHCP exchange is completed.

4.4.2.2.  Choosing the PMIP mode

   If the client decides that it would use PMIP service offered by the
   access network, it SHALL send the (additional) Information Request
   message containing Home Network Information sub-option with the Home
   Network Information field containing the PMIP network prefix.

4.4.3.  Note on DHCPv4

   Home Network Identifier option and Home Network Information option
   defined for DHCPv6 could be adopted, with some modifications, for
   DHCPv4.  This would enable the single stack IPv4 host to become aware
   of the PMIP service support by the access network.  Wheather the
   approach of adopting the DHCPv6 options for DHCPv4 is feasible in
   this particular case is for futher study.

   The IPv4 host would include the Home Network Identifier option,
   indicating its preferences, in the DHCPDISCOVER message.  DHCPOFFER
   message would include Home Network Information option indicating the
   network type(s) supported by the access network and authorized for
   the mobile node.  The mobile node would indicate its choice in the
   DHCPREQUEST message by including the Home Network Information option
   with the id-type field set to the selected network type.


5.  Security Considerations

   TBD.


6.  IANA Considerations

   The following Extension Types MUST be assigned by IANA:

   PMIP6 "N" indication flag in RA flags expansion option
   PMIP6 Care-of Prefix Option type
