      A PMIPv6-based solution for Distributed Mobility Management
                      draft-bernardos-dmm-pmip-03

Abstract

   The number of mobile users and their traffic demand is expected to be
   ever-increasing in future years, and this growth can represent a
   limitation for deploying current mobility management schemes that are
   intrinsically centralized, e.g., Mobile IPv6 and Proxy Mobile IPv6.
   For this reason it has been waved a need for distributed and dynamic
   mobility management approaches, with the objective of reducing
   operators' burdens, evolving to a cheaper and more efficient
   architecture.

   This draft describes multiple solutions for network-based distributed
   mobility management inspired by the well known Proxy Mobile IPv6.
