Description of Working Group:

Mobile IPv6 (MIP6) specifies routing support which permits an IPv6 host
to
continue using its home address as it moves around the Internet,
enabling
continuity of sessions. Mobile IPv6 supports transparency above the IP
layer, including maintenance of active transport level sessions.
The base specifications for Mobile IPv6 consist of:

o RFC 3775
o RFC 3776

The primary goal of the MIP6 working group will be to enhance base
IPv6 mobility by continuing work on developments that are required for
wide-scale deployments. Additionally the working group will ensure that
any
issues identified by implementation and interoperability experience are
addressed, and that the base specifications are maintained. The group
will
also produce informational documentation, such as design rationale
documents
or description of specific issues within the protocol.

Deployment considerations call for work to reduce per-mobile node
configuration and enrollment effort, solutions to enable dual-stack
operation, mechanisms to support high-availabity home agents, and ways
to
employ Mobile IPv6 in the presence of firewalls.

Work items related to base specification maintenance include:

- Create and maintain an issue list that is generated on the basis of
implementation and interoperability experience. Address specific issues
with
specific updates or revisions of the base specification. This work
relates
only to corrections and clarifications. The working group shall not
revisit
design decisions or change the protocol.

- Update RFC 3776 to specify the usage of IKEv2 for the establishment of
the
IPsec SA between the MN and HA. This work also provides a way for a
mobile
node to change its home address or employ multiple home addresses as
needed.

- Update the IANA considerations of RFC 3775 to allow extensions for
experimental purposes as well passing of optional vendor-specific
information.

Work items related to large scale deployment include:

- Bootstrapping Mobile IPv6: A bootstrapping mechanism is intended to be
used when the device is turned on the very first time and activates
Mobile
IPv6, or periodically such as when powering on. The WG should
investigate
and define the scope before solving the problem.

Work on the problem statement and the solutions needed for various
deployment scenarios. Work with other WGs such as DHC for defining the
options needed for bootstrapping.

- Capture the AAA requirements needed for bootstrapping and deployment,
and
work with the Radext and DiME WGs on the solutions.

- A Solution for MIP6 session continuity for dual stack hosts which
attach
to IPv4 access networks. Additionally provide a mechanism for carrying
IPv4
packets via the Home agent for MIP6 capable dual-stack hosts. This work
will
be done in collaboration with the NEMO WG.

- A protocol based solution for enhancing the reliability of home agents
and
a method to force a host to switch home agents.

- A mechanism to force an MN to switch the HA that is currently serving
it.
This is required in deployments where the HA may need to be taken
offline
for maintenance.

- Work on solutions to deal with firewalls and the problems that
firewalls
cause as identified in RFC 4487.

Work items related to informational documentation include:

- Produce a problem statement relating to location privacy and the use
of
Mobile IPv6. Work with the IRTF MOBOPTS RG on developing the solution.

- Produce a design rationale that documents the historical thinking
behind
the introduction of an alternative security mechanism, the
Authentication
Protocol (RFC 4285).

It should be noted that some of the features that are directly related
to
Mobile IPv6 are being worked on in the MONAMI6, MIPSHOP, and NEMO
working
groups. The specific extensions from these groups are out of scope for
the
MIP6 working group. In particular, all optimizations are out of scope.
However, MIP6 may assist these groups when they use features listed
above
and have requirements on them.
