                Mobility Practices and DMM Gap Analysis
                    draft-zuniga-dmm-gap-analysis-03

Abstract

   This document describes practices for the deployment of existing
   mobility protocols in a distributed mobility management (DMM)
   environment, and identifies the limitations in the current practices
   with respect to providing the expected DMM functionality.

   The practices description and gap analysis are performed for IP-based
   mobility protocols, dividing them into three main families: IP
   client-based, IP network-based, and 3GPP mobility solutions.
