1. Introduction
Mobile IPv6 [1]allows a mobile node to manage its mobility using the
binding update message, which binds one care-of address to one home
address. The binding update message can be sent to the home agent or
a correspondent node or to a mobility anchor point [2]. The
semantics of the binding update in Mobile IPv6 are limited to address
changes. That is, [1] does not allow a mobile node to bind more than
one address to the home address. Furthermore, the binding
granularity is limited to the address. Therefore, a mobile node
cannot associate one of the connections using the home address with a
different care-of address. In [3] Mobile IPv6 is extended to allow
the binding of more than one care-of address to a home address. This
specification extends Mobile IPv6 to allow it to specify policies
associated with each binding. A policy can contain a request for a
special treatment of a particular flow. Hence, this specification
allows a mobile node to bind a particular flow to a care-of address
without affecting other flows using the same home address.
In this document, a flow is defined as one or more connections that
are identified by a flow identifier. A single connection is
typically identified by the source and destination IP addresses,
transport protocol number and the source and destination port
numbers. Alternatively a flow can be identified in a simpler manner
using the flow label field in the IPv6 header [4] or the Security
Parameter Index (SPI) when IPsec is used.
Flow bindings are useful in cases where the mobile node has more than
one address, probably due to being multihomed, and wants to direct
certain flows to certain addresses. This may be done because some
flows are better suited to certain link layers or simply to load
balance flows between different interfaces. This specification
introduces the flow identifier option, which is included in the
binding update message and used to describe a flow to the recipient
of the binding update. Using the flow identifier option introduced
in this specification a mobile node can bind one or more flows to a
care-of address while maintaining the reception of other flows on
another care-of address. Requesting the flow binding can be decided
based on local policies within the mobile node and based on the link
characteristics and the types of applications running at the time.
Such policies are outside the scope of this document.
It should be noted that the flow identification option can be
associated with any binding update, whether it is sent to a
correspondent node, home agent or mobility anchor point. A Similar
mechanism for Mobile IPv4 is described in [5].

2. Mobile IPv6 Extensions
This section introduces extensions to Mobile IPv6 that are necessary
for supporting the flow binding mechanism described in this document.
2.1. Flow Identification option
The Flow identification option is included in the binding update and
acknowledgement messages. This option contains information that
allows the receiver of a binding update to identify a traffic flow
and route it to a given address. Multiple options may exist within a
binding update message.
The Flow identification option has a flexible format that allows
different fields to appear in the option based on the way the mobile
node chooses to represent the flow. The flags following the option
length field indicate which of the fields used to identify the flow
are present in the option. As a result, there is no fixed format for
the flow identification option. This may result in slight complexity
in the implementation; however, this option will minimise the size of
the option sent, which is particularly important for bandwidth-
limited wireless links.

R
When set, this flag indicates that the source address associated
with this flow is the address of the node receiving this binding
update, which is the ultimate destination address in the packet
and MUST be used to identify the flow. The ultimate destination
address is present in the destination address field of the header,
or the routing header type 2 when route optimisation is used.
H
When set, this flag indicates that the destination address
associated with this flow is the source address of this binding
update. This address MUST be used to identify the flow.
PRI
This is a 6-bit priority field to indicate the priority of a
particular option. This field is needed in cases where two
different flow descriptions in two different options overlap. The
priority field decides which policy should be in those cases. A
lower number in this field indicates a higher priority.
FID
The Flow Identifier field is an 8-bit unsigned integer that
includes the identifier for the flow binding. This field is used
to refer to an existing binding or to create a new binding.
Action
This field specifies the action that needs to be taken by the
receiver of the binding update containing the flow identification
option.
Status
This field indicates the success or failure of the flow binding
operation for the particular flow in the option. This field is
not relevant to the binding update message as a whole or to other
flow identification options. Values from 0 to 127 indicate
success. Values of 128 and higher indicate failure. This field
is only relevant when included in the Binding Acknowledgement
message and must be ignored in the binding update message.

PRO
This is a 4-bit field that describes the required processing for
the option. This field may indicate a request for adding,
deleting, modifying or refreshing the option. The details of
these requests are discussed below.
CLS
This is a 4-bit field that indicates the method used to describe
the flow sent in this option. The Flow identification option
allows for more than one method to describe a flow. The format
shown above is the only one described in this specification. For
the format shown in this section, the CLS field MUST be set to 1.
Other formats may also be used by allocating a new CLS value to
such definitions.
Source Address
This field identifies the source address of data packets as seen
by the receiver of this binding update. That is, the address of
the correspondent node. An IPv4 address of the correspondent must
be included in the IPv4-mapped IPv6 address format.
Source Prefix
This field includes the prefix for the source address. Hence the
combination of those two fields allows for the support of a single
128-bit address or a number of addresses within a prefix.
Destination Address
This field identifies the destination address of the data packet
as seen by the receiver of the binding update. When the host is a
mobile node, this parameter is not relevant: for a correspondent
node, the destination is the home address of the mobile node. For
a mobility anchor point, the destination address would be the
regional care-of address of the mobile node.
Destination Prefix
This field includes the prefix for the destination address. Hence
the combination of those two fields allows for the support of a
single 128-bit address or a number of addresses within a prefix.

receiver of the binding update.
Source Port - Max
This field identifies the highest source port number within a
range of port numbers that will be used in data packets, as seen
by the receiver of the binding update.

The following values are reserved for the Action field in this
option:
1 Forward. This value indicates a request to forward a flow to the
address included or referred to by the option.
2 Discard. This value indicates a request to discard all packets in
the flow described by this option.
3 n-cast. This value indicates a request to replicate the flow to
several addresses. If this value is used, one or more BID sub-

specification.
The following values are reserved for the status field within the
flow identification option:
0 Flow binding successful.
128 Flow binding rejected, reason unspecified.
129 Flow binding option poorly formed.
130 Administratively prohibited.
131 Flow identification by IPv6 prefix is not supported.
132 Flow identification by port numbers is not supported.
133 Flow identification with Flow label is not supported.
134 Flow identification with SPI is not supported.
135 FID already in use
136 FID not found
137 Classifier language not supported.
138 Discard function not supported.

139 N-cast function not supported.
It should be noted that per-packet load balancing has negative
impacts on TCP congestion avoidance mechanisms as it is desirable to
maintain order between packets belonging to the same TCP connection.
This behaviour is specified in [6]. Other negative impacts are also
foreseen for other types of real time connections due to the
potential variations in RTT between packets. Hence per-packet load
balancing is not allowed in this extension. However, the MN can
still request per-flow load balancing provided that the entire flow
is moved to the new interface.
2.2. The Binding Indentifier (BID) Sub-option
This section introduces the BID sub-option, which is included in the
Flow identification option. The BID sub-option includes one or more
BIDs as defined in [3]. When this sub-option is included in the Flow
identification option it associates the flow described with one or
more BIDs that where already registered with the recipient of the BU.
A BID sub-option is not necessarily included in the same BU, but MUST
be already known to the receiver of the BU. The BID sub-option is
shown below.

this suboption. .
2.3. Binding Cache and Binding Update list extensions
Flow bindings are conceptually stored in Binding Cache of home agent,
mobility anchor point and correspondent node, and in Binding Update
List of mobile node / mobile router. These logical structures need
to be extended to include the following parameters (in addition to
those described in [1]):
o FID (Flow Identifier). For a given home address, the FID MUST
uniquely identify an entry, i.e. a unique flow binding. An FID is
only unique for a given home address . Different mobile nodes can
use the same FID value.
o Each attribute that constitutes the flow binding. These
attributes were transported in the Flow Identification option.
An entry in these structures is identified by the couple (home
address, FID).

Internet-Draft Flow bind September 2006
3. Protocol operations
This specification allows mobile hosts and routers to direct flows to
a particular care-of address. This can be done by aggregating many
flows in the flow identification option (e.g. all TCP traffic), or by
uniquely identifying a flow in the flow identification option. The
flow identification option is transported within a Binding Update and
can be sent with one or more parameters. The first 8 octets of the
option MUST be present in all cases, while the rest of the parameters
are optional. For instance, the following constructions of the
option, among others (following the first 8 octets), are all legal:
Option 1: Flow label.
Option 2: SPI
Option 3: Source Port - Min, Source Port - Max
Option 4: Source Port - Min, Source Port - Max, Dst Port - Min, Dst
Port - Max
Option 5: Source Port - Min, Source Port - Max, Dst Port - Min, Dst
Port - Max, Protocol
Option 6: Source Address/Prefix, Destination Address/Prefix, Source
Port-Min, Source Port-Max, Dst Port-Min, Dst Port-Max
Option 7: Protocol
In order to respect the alignment rules, the following fields MUST be
followed by reserved bits that MUST be ignored upon reception:
o Source prefix: followed by 24 reserved bits
o Destination prefix : followed by 24 reserved bits
o Protocol: followed by the C.S. field and 16 reserved bits. Note
that the C.S. field can be present and ignored if the T flag was
cleared. The C.S field would only be present for alignment
reasons.
o C.S.: This field is always preceded by the Protocol field and
followed by 12 reserved bits. The Protocol field is always
present and must be ignored if the O flag is cleared.
o Flow label: followed by 12 reserved bits

Internet-Draft Flow bind September 2006
This section discusses how mobile hosts and routers can use the flow
identification option when sending binding updates to the
correspondent node, home agent or mobility anchor point. In
Addition, deletion and modification of bindings are all discussed
below.
3.1. Interaction with the Multiple CoA bindings mechanism
The solution presented in this specification can be used with or
without the solution in [3]. However, combining the mechanism in
this specification with the multiple CoA bindings allows for further
aggregation of bindings. Additionally, the combination of the two
mechanisms allows for additional features (e.g. bicasting) to take
place with minimal effort. Hence, this specification makes use of
the BID option described in [3].
3.2. Flow binding storage
Home agent, correspondent node and mobility anchor point maintain
Binding Cache in order to record associations between home addresses
and care-of addresses of mobile nodes that are away from the home
link. Mobile node and mobile router maintain binding update list to
record binding between home address and care-of address. RFC 3775
[1] allows mobile nodes and mobile routers to register only one
care-of address per home address. Thus a binding cache entry is
uniquely identified by the home address.
This specification extends the binding cache and the binding update
list structures, and allows mobile node and mobile router to (1)
register multiple care-of addresses for a given home address and (2)
associate flow binding policies with the registered care-of
addresses.
New parameters are added to these conceptual structures in order to
list the particular rule associated with a standard binding. On one
hand, an entry is now identified by the pair (home address, FID)
because several Care-of addresses may be bound to a single home
address. On the other hand, the Care-of address is selected
according to the best match between the packets that need to be sent,
and the existing flow bindings. If no matching is found between the
flow bindings and the data packet, a default entry is used (see next
subsection). If a flow matches two different flow bindings, the PRI
field indicates which action is preferred by the mobile node.
3.3. Default binding
Any distant node which supports the flow identification option MUST
maintain a default binding per home address. A default binding
Soliman, et al. Expires March 30, 2007 [Page 15]
Internet-Draft Flow bind September 2006
indicates an association between a home address and a Care-of
address. In addition to the default binding, several bindings may
co-exist within a binding cache for the same home address, each of
them indicating different bindings between flows and Care-of
addresses. When a data flow is intercepted by a home agent or
initiated by a correspondent node, if the said data flow does not
match an existing flow identification option, the care-of address
indicated in the default binding is used as destination address for
the mobile node / mobile router. The default binding is indicated in
the BID option described in [3]. A mobile node is responsible for
having a default care-of address with the receiver of the flow
identification option.
3.4. Adding flow bindings
When adding a new flow binding, a mobile node / mobile router sends
the flow identification option in the binding update. The option
MUST include the first 8 bytes, with a unique FID. The FID need only
be unique for the receiver of the binding update, i.e. the same FID
can be used across different receivers of the binding update. The
PRO field MUST indicate an Add operation. Adding the flow binding
implies associating a flow with a particular care-of address for the
mobile node / mobile router. The care-of address is present in the
source address of the packet or the alternate care-of address option.
Alternatively, the care-of address may be indicated by the BID (which
is pointing to an existing care-of address) when the BID sub-option
of the Flow Identification option is present.
The mobile node / mobile router may need to define the flow partially
or entirely based on the source and destination addresses in packets.
For instance, a mobile node may choose to forward all flows from
address A to address B to a particular care-of address.
Alternatively, more granularity can be added by including port
numbers and protocol. The destination address seen by the sender is
usually the home address, and may be the regional care-of address
(RCoA) in the case of [2]. The mobile node / mobile router can
either include the source and destination addresses in the flow
identification option, or refer to those addresses using the R and H
flags in the flow identification option. The latter method reduces
the overall packet size and makes it more efficient to add a flow.
An Add operation implies that the FID is new and is not already used
by the mobile node for any other flow binding. If the Flow
identification option is sent with only the first 8-octets and with
the PRO field indicating an Add opertion, this MUST be seen as a wild
card request by the sender. A wild card request implies that all
flows should be directed to the particular care-of address in the
packet.
Soliman, et al. Expires March 30, 2007 [Page 16]
Internet-Draft Flow bind September 2006
3.5. Modifying flow bindings
When modifying a flow binding (either the care-of address or other
attributes of the flow), the mobile node / mobile router sends the
binding update with a flow identification option. The option
includes the FID for the binding being modified, as well as the PRO
field set to 1, indicating a request to modify the binding. The flow
identification option contains the new attributes needed to classify
the flow. Hence, flow modification is essentially a process where an
existing flow definition is removed and a new flow (included in the
option) is added and given the same FID as the flow that was removed.
If one of the care-of addresses needs to be updated with a new one
(e.g., after a change of the IP point of attachment), the mobile node
/ router may just need to register the new care-of address for the
given BID.
3.6. Removing flow bindings
When removing a flow binding, the mobile node / mobile router sends a
binding update message with the flow identification option. The PRO
field MUST be set to a value of 255, which indicates a request for
removing a flow binding. Only the first 8 octets in the option are
required. This will provide enough information for the receiver to
locate the flow binding using the FID and remove it.
3.7. Refreshing Flow Bindings
A flow binding is refreshed by simply including the Flow
identification option in the BU message. In this case the PRO field
is set to indicate a refresh operation. Only the first 8-octets need
to be present in this case.
The refresh operation is included in this specification due to the
nature of the BU message. The BU message updates existing bindings
with new information. Hence, all information previously sent in the
last BU message need to be resent in all new messages, otherwise such
information will be lost. To reduce the amount of information sent
unnecessarily, only the first 8-octets are sent when a refresh
operation is requested.
3.8. Acknowledging flow identification options
The home agent and mobility anchor point are required to ackowledge
the reception of Binding Update by sending Binding Acknowledgment. A
correspondent node SHOULD also acknowledge Binding Update. The
Binding Acknowledgement is extended by this specification to indicate

If a Binding Acknowledgement needs to be sent in response to a
Binding Update that contained flow identification option(s), a copy
of the first 8 bytes of each flow identification MUST be included.
Only the Status field needs to be changed to the appropriate value.
The absence of flow identification option in Binding Acknwoledgement
indicates that the sender does not support the extension descibed in
this document and therefore MUST be interpreted as a negative
acknowledgement.

4. Usage scenario
In this section, we highlight a use case of the flow identification
option.
Assume a mobile node equipped with two interfaces namely If1 and If2,
each connected to a different foreign network. The mobile node
configures one global IPv6 address on each interface, namely CoA1 and
CoA2 respectively. The mobile node runs Mobile IPv6 with a home
agent located in its home network. We assume that an existing IPsec
security association is set up betweeen the mobile node and its home
agent. We assume that the mobile node wants to exchange secure data
flows over CoA1 and insecure data flows over CoA2. To do so, the
mobile node may request its home agent to redirect packets intended
to the mobile node's home address to a different care-of address,
depending on the type of the communication. For example, port
numbers 22 (ssh) and 443 (https) may be tunneled to CoA1 while other
communications may be tunneled to CoA2. In order to set up these
flow bindings, the following messages are exchanged:
o The mobile node sends a Binding Update through If2, with the
source address set to CoA2. The Binding Update includes a BID
sub-option as described in [3]. This sub-option intends to set
the highest preference on the given Care-of address.
o When the home agent receives the Binding Update, it first
validates the Binding Update as recommanded in section 10.3 of
[1]. If the Binding Update is accepted, the home agent processes
the BID sub-option as described in section 6.2 of [3]. It then
registers the source address of the Binding Update as the default
care-of address for the given home address and sends back a
Binding Acknowledgement.
o Later, the mobile node sends additional Binding Update with both
Flow Identification options and BID sub-option of [3]. The BID
sub-option is used to indicate the priority of the new Care-of
address. In this example, the priority must be lower than the
priority of CoA2. The flow identification options are used to
indicate the Care-of address usage preferences. In order to
redirect source port numbers 22 and 443 to CoA1, the flow
identification options are set as follows:
Option 1: The option is 12 bytes in length. The flags F (source
port) is set to 1, PRI is set to 1, Action is set to 0 (forward),
PRO is set to 0 (add), FID is set to 1, the source port-Min and
the source Port-Max fields are set to 22.
Option 2: the option is the same option as above, with the FID =
Soliman, et al. Expires March 30, 2007 [Page 19]
Internet-Draft Flow bind September 2006
2, and source port-Min and source port-Max fields set to 443.
o When the home agent receives this second Binding Update, it first
checks the validity of the Binding Update as recommanded in
section 10.3 of [1] and section 6.2 of [3]. If the Binding Update
is accepted, the Flow Identification options are treated. If
these options are accepted by the home agent, it will return a
Binding Acknowledgement with Flow Identification options, each of
them having at least the same first 8 bytes, and the Status field
set to 0 (success).
Thereafter, if a data flow is destinated to the home address of
the mobile node, the home agent will determine if the source port
number is equal to 22 or 443. If yes, the home agent will tunnel
the data flow to CoA1. If not, the data flow will be forwarded to
CoA2.

5. Mobile Node operations
5.1. Default Bindings
A default binding is always maintained between a MN and its peers
(home agent, correspondent node if RO is used and mobility anchor
point if applicable). The default entry indicates which care-of
address to use for a data flow that does not match any of the flow
bindings. The default care-of address is determined through the BID
option described in [3].
5.1.1. Managing Flow Bindings with the Home Agent and MAP
A mobile node may establish a Flow Binding by issuing a Binding
Update containing a Flow Identifier in its mobility options. The
Flow Identification option MUST contain at least 8 octets and
indicate valid FID, PRO field, and rule priority (PRI field). The
flags that are set indicate which field is present in the option.
The option MUST also include a valid Action field.
The PRO field of the Flow Identification option indicates the
processing that the targeted node has to perform to its Bindings
Cache List. A mobile node / mobile router may request for any of the
following requests:
o 0: Add flow binding. Create a new Flow Binding with the indicated
FID and include the attached Flow. A mobile node / mobile router
MUST NOT issue a Flow Identifier with the PRO field set to zero
for an existing FID.
o 1: Replace a flow binding. This request enables the mobile node /
mobile router to replace attributes of the flow or the care-of
address associated with the FID. A mobile node / mobile router
MUST NOT issue a Flow Identifier with the PRO field set to one for
a non existent FID.
o 2: Refresh a flow binding. This request allows the mobile node /
mobile router to inform the receiver of the BU message that the
flow binding is still valid. This request does not modify the
flow option. A flow identification option MUST NOT contain this
value in the PRO field for a non-existent FID.
o 255: Remove a flow binding. This action enables a mobile node /
mobile router to remove the Flow Binding indicated by the FID from
the targeted node's Binding Cache List. A mobile node / mobile
router MUST not issue a Flow Identifier with the PRO field set to
255 for a non existent FID.
Soliman, et al. Expires March 30, 2007 [Page 21]
Internet-Draft Flow bind September 2006
When adding a flow binding in the home agent or MAP's binding caches,
the mobile node MUST ensure the following:
o The PRO field MUST be set to indicate an Add operation.
o The FID field includes a value that does not already exist in the
mobile node's binding update list.
o The PRI field is set to indicate the priority of the rule in case
of an overlap between rules. An overlap can occur when multiple
flows match the flow description in the option.
o If the destination address field is present, it must be set to an
address that the mobile node owns.
o If the Action field is set to indicate N-cast, the BID sub-option
must be present and it must contain one or more BIDs. If the BID
sub-option includes one BID, it must be pointing to a care-of
address other than the one included in the binding update.
5.1.2. Managing Flow Bindings in Correspondent nodes
When route optimisation is used (see [1]), a mobile node sends the BU
message to the correspondent node after the return routability test.
When adding flow bindings in the BU sent to the correspondent node,
the mobile node MUST ensure the following:
o The FID field includes a value that is not already stored in the
binding update list with the correspondent node's address.
o The PRO field is set to indicate an Add operation.
o If either the source or destination address fields are present,
their prefixes MUST be set to 128, to indicate a single address.
A mobile node can also modify or delete flow bindings in a similar
manner to that described earlier with the home agent and MAP. When
Modifying a flow binding, the mobile node MUST ensure that the FID
used already exists. The rest of the rules for modifying flow
bindings are the same as those listed above for adding a flow
binding.
Refreshing and deleting flow bindings are done in the same manner as
that described for the home agent and MAP with one exception: the
mobile node MUST NOT refresh or delete bindings associated with any
care-of address other than the one included in the BU message.
Soliman, et al. Expires March 30, 2007 [Page 22]
Internet-Draft Flow bind September 2006
5.1.3. Using Alternate Care-Of Address
If the Alternate Care-of Address option is used in the Binding
Update, it shall indicate the care-of address to be associated with
the Flow Identification options. The Flow Identification options
shall contain the FID to be allocated to the Flow Binding.
5.1.4. Receiving Binding Acknowledgements
According to [1] all nodes are required to silently ignore mobility
options not understood while processing Binding Updates. As such a
mobile node / mobile router receiving a Binding Acknowledgement in
response to the transmission of a Binding Request MUST determine if
the Binding Acknowledgement contains a copy of the first 8 bytes of
every Flow Identification option included in the Binding Update. A
Binding Acknowledgement without Flow Identification option(s) would
indicate inabillity on behalf of the source node to support the
extensions presented in this document.
If received Binding Acknowledgement contains a copy of the first 8
bytes of each flow identification option that was sent within the
Binding Update, the status field of each flow identification option
indicates the status of the flow binding on the distant node.
5.2. Movement
When a MN changes its point of attachment to the Internet, its
Care-of address(es) may become invalid and need to be updated. All
the flow bindings that are attached to such an old Care-of address
need to be udpated with a new Care-of address. This can be achieved
by adding flow identification options in Binding Update. One flow
identification is needed per flow binding. Only the first 8 octets
of the flow identification option are needed. The FID must be set to
the flow binding that needs to be udpated and the PRO field MUST be
set to 1 (MODIFY).
If the BID sub-option is used as defined in [3], the mobile node /
router may only need to update the care-of address associated with
the given BID. This would avoid to send a flow identification option
per flow binding.
5.3. Return Routability Procedure
A Mobile node may perform route optimization with correpondent nodes.
Route optimization allows a mobile node to bind a care-of address to
a home address in order to allow the correspondent node to direct the
traffic to the current location of the mobile node. Before sending a
Binding Update to correspondent node, the Return Routability
Soliman, et al. Expires March 30, 2007 [Page 23]
Internet-Draft Flow bind September 2006
Procedure needs to be performed between the mobile node and the
correspondent node.
This procedure is not affected by the extensions defined in this
document. However, since a BU message is secured with the key
generated based on the home address and care-of address test, a
mobile node / mobile router MUST NOT bind a flow to a care-of address
whose keygen token (see [1]) was not used to generate the key for
securing the BU. This limitation prohibits the sender from
requesting the n-cast action before having registered each care-of
address one by one.
5.4. Returning Home
Whenever a mobile node acquires a point of attachment to the home
network and wishes to abolish all Flow Bindings associated with the
respective home address, it is required to act as described in
Section 11.5.4 of [1]. This will cause the home agent to remove all
Flow Bindings that are linked to the home address, including the flow
bindings.
Soliman, et al. Expires March 30, 2007 [Page 24]
Internet-Draft Flow bind September 2006
6. Correspondant node operations
The route optimization is only defined for mobile nodes, and not
mobile router. Thus, this section does not apply to mobile routers.
Every correspondent node is required to maintain a Binding Cache
containing records of associations between mobile node home addresses
and care-of addresses (bindings) as they roam away from the home
network. [1] allows mobile nodes to register only a single binding
per home address with every correspondent node.
This specification extends the binding cache structure, and enables
correspondent nodes to (i) maintain multiple bindings for a given
home address and (ii) to associate multiple Flow Identification
options with every binding, termed as Flow Binding. A flow matching
a Flow Identification policy would be directed to the Care-of address
indicated by the Flow Binding.
6.1. Receiving Binding Udpate
When a correspondant node receives a Binding Update, it first
performs the same operation as defined in [1]. If the Binding Update
is valid and contains the Flow identification option, the
correspondent node needs to check the content of the PRO field. If
the PRO field contains a value indicating a request to add a new flow
binding, the following checks are done:
o The FID field needs to contain a value that does not already
exist. If the FID contains a value that already exists, the
correspondent node MUST reject the option by sending that option
back in its Binding acknowledgement with a Status field that
contains an error value.
o If the FID field is valid, the correspondent node then check the
Action field. If the Action field contains a request for n-cast,
a new address is added to the set of addresses for n-casting.
o If both of the checks above indicate valid FID and Action fields,
the correspondent node checks the flags in the option, which tell
it what fields are included in the option. If the source or
destination address fields are present, the correspondent node
checks if their prefixes are set to 128 (indicating a single
address). If the prefix fields for either the source or
destination addresses are not set to 128, the binding is rejected
by including an error code in the Status field of the option and
adding that option to the binding acknowledgement.
Soliman, et al. Expires March 30, 2007 [Page 25]
Internet-Draft Flow bind September 2006
o If the BID sub-option were present in the option, it MUST include
the BID corresponding to the care-of address in the binding
update. If the BID sub-option contained BID that were not already
authorized, or if the BID did not correspond to to the care-of
address in the packet, the option MUST be rejected by including an
error code in the Status field of the option included in the
binding acknowledgement.
o If all of the checks above indicated a valid option, the
correspondent node should add the flow binding to its binding
cache.
If the PRO field in the option indicated a request to modify the
option, the following checks must be done by the correspondent node:
o The FID MUST include a value that already exists. If the FID
cannot be found in the correspondent node's binding cache, the
flow identification option MUST be rejected with an appropriate
error code.
o If the Action field indicated a request to n-cast the flow, the
correspondent node MUST reject the option by sending the option in
its binding acknowledgement with an appropriate error code.
o If the source or destination addresses are present in the option,
the correspondent node MUST verfiy that none of the prefixes
contains a value other than 128. If either of the prefix fields
contains a different value, the option MUST be rejected with an
appropriate error code.
o If the BID sub-option were present, the correspondent node MUST
ensure that the BID points to the care-of address in the packet,
or to an already authrozied care-of address. Otherwise the option
MUST be rejected with an appropriate error code.
o If all of the above checks returned a valid result, the
correspondent node should modify the binding as requested.
If the PRO field in the option contained a request to refresh a
binding, the correspondent node MUST ensure that the FID already
exists. If the FID did not exist, the correspondent node MUST reject
the option by sending it back in its binding acknowledgement with an
appropriate error code in the status field. Otherwise, if the FID
existed, the correspondent node must keep it in its binding cache.
No further checks need to be done in the option.
The correspondent node should reply with a Binding Acknowledgement
message. This Binding Acknowlegement message must contain a copy of
Soliman, et al. Expires March 30, 2007 [Page 26]
Internet-Draft Flow bind September 2006
the first 8 bytes of each flow identification option that was
included in the Binding Udpate. The Status field of each Flow
Identification option MUST be set to an appropriate value.

7. Home Agent operations
This specification allows the home agent to maintain several bindings
for a given home address and to direct packets to different care-of
addresses according to flow bindings. This section details the home
agent operations necessary to implement this specification.
7.1. Receiving Binding Update with the Flow Identification option
When the home agent receives a Binding Update which includes at least
one Flow Identification option, it first performs the operation
described in section 10.3.1 of RFC3775. If the Binding Update is
accepted, the home agent then checks the flow identification option.
If the PRO field in the option indicates an Add operation, the
following checks must be done:
o The FID field needs to contain a value that does not already
exist. If the FID contains a value that already exists, the home
agent MUST reject the option by sending that option back in its
Binding acknowledgement with a Status field that contains an error
value.
o If the FID field is valid, the home agent then checks the Action
field.
o If both of the checks above indicate valid FID and Action fields,
the home agent checks the flags in the option, which tell it what
fields are included in the option. If the destination address
field is present the home agent MUST verify that the address/
prefix included is in fact assigned to the mobile node/router. If
this check fails (for the mobile host or if the prefix in the
option is not located in the Mobile Network Prefix table) The home
agent MUST reject the option with an appropriate error code in its
status field.
o If the flow option included an action field indicating a request
for n-cast, the home agent needs to create muliple logical entries
in its binding cache. All flows matching the one in the option
would be n-cast to the care-of addresses pointed to by the BIDs
sub-options or the set of registered care-of addresses. If only
one BID were included in the BID sub-option and it pointed to a
different care-of address from the one included in the packet,
then packets matching the flow would be bicast to those two
addresses.
o If all of the checks above indicated a valid option, the home
agent should add the flow binding to its binding cache.
Soliman, et al. Expires March 30, 2007 [Page 28]
Internet-Draft Flow bind September 2006
If the PRO field in the option contained a value indicating a request
to modify an existing binding, the following actions must be taken:
o The FID MUST include a value that already exists. If the FID
cannot be found in the home agent's binding cache, the flow
identification option MUST be rejected as a poorly formed option.
o If the FID is valid, the home agent MUST perform the same steps
described above for the Add operation.
If the PRO field indicated a refresh operation, the home agent MUST
ensure that the FID in the option already exists. If the FID field
did not exist, the option MUST be rejected as a poorly formed option.
If the FID existed, the home agent MUST keep the current flow binding
in its binding cache.
7.2. Sending Binding Ackowledgement
Upon the reception of a Binding Update, the home agent is required to
send back a Binding Acknowledgment. The status code in the Binding
Acknowledgement must be set as recommanded in [1] and is not modified
by the extension defined in this specification. This status code
does not give information on the success or failure of the flow
binding.
In order to inform the status of the flow binding that where
requested by a mobile node / mobile router, flow identification
option is needed in the Binding Acknowledgement message. The home
agent must copy the first 8 octets of each Flow Identification option
received in the Binding Update and set the status code to an
approriate value. Each option must be included in the Binding
Acknowledgement message.
7.3. Deleting an entry in the binding cache
A home agent might delete an entry in its binding cache for two
reasons: either an entry expires, or the MN explicitly requests the
home agent to remove a specific entry. If an entry is going to
expire, the home agent SHOULD send a Binding Refresh Advice.
7.3.1. Removing Flow Bindings
If the home agent receives a valid Binding Update with a flow
Identification option where the PRO field is set to 255 (Remove), the
home agent MUST remove the corresponding entry. The home agent looks
up the entry corresponding to the FID of the Binding Update. If an
entry is found, the entry is removed from the Binding cache and a
Binding Acknowledgement is sent back to the mobile node with a
Soliman, et al. Expires March 30, 2007 [Page 29]
Internet-Draft Flow bind September 2006
success value for the status of the flow Identification option (see
section Section 7.2. This operation does not modify any other
binding that may appear with the same home address. If the FID is
not present in the binding cache entry for the corresponding home
address, the home agent MUST send back to the mobile node a Binding
Acknowledgement with error code 137 (FID not found) in the flow
identification option.
Soliman, et al. Expires March 30, 2007 [Page 30]
Internet-Draft Flow bind September 2006
8. Mobility Anchor Point operations
The MAP operation is the same as the home agent operation. Flow
bindings sent to the MAP are associated with the regional care-of
address.
When a MAP receives a Binding Update that includes the flow
Identification option, it checks if such option is valid according to
the requirements in Section 7.1. If the option is valid, the MAP
installs the flow binding associated with the flow identified in the
option. The lifetime of the binding is the lifetime of the Binding
Update. Once the binding is successfully installed, the MAP sends
the binding acknowledgement and includes the flow Identification
option. Only the first eight bytes are required in the option. The
MAP sets the status field to a value indicating success.
In all cases, a flow identification option SHOULD be included in the
Binding Acknowledgement to indicate success or failure of the flow
binding installation.

Internet-Draft Flow bind September 2006
9. Security considerations
This draft introduces a new option that adds more granularity to the
Binding Update message. The new option allows the mobile node to
associate some flows to an interface and other flow to another
interface. Since the flow Identification option is part of the
mobility header, it uses the same security as the Binding Update,
whether it is sent to the home agent, correspondent node, or MAP.
However, since the flow Identification option can optionally include
an address identifying the mobile node (the destination address
field), it is pertinent for the receiver of the Binding Update to
ensure that such address (if included) is in fact assigned to the
mobile node. For instance, the home agent must check that the
address included in the flow identification option is assigned to the
mobile node as one of its home addresses.
