Abstract:
Mobile networks are changing towards distributed mobility management
(DMM), tackling inefficiencies of existing mobility protocols
regarding network management and packet routing. Identifying IP
multicast use cases applicable to DMM is a logical step before
exploring solution spaces. This document describes use cases where IP
multicast is applied in DMM environments, considering two main
deployment options: multicast router or MLD-Proxy deployment at a
Mobility Access Router (MAR). Due to the lack of standard terminology,
we refer to MAR as the entity embedding mobility-related functions,
e.g. providing network access and flow anchoring capabilities. Each
deployment option is thoroughly analyzed regarding its advantages and
disadvantages, and both multicast listener and source mobility
support are considered.
