Technical Summary
Network managers currently prefer Provider Independent (PI)
addressing for IPv6 to attempt to minimize the need for future
possible renumbering. However, a widespread use of PI addresses may
cause Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) scaling problems. It is thus
desirable to develop tools and practices that make IPv6 renumbering a
simpler process to reduce demand for IPv6 PI space [RFC6879]. This
document solves the HNP renumbering problem when the
HNP in PMIPv6 [RFC5213] is not the type of PI.

for PMIPv6 is needed. This document has been reviewed by
the PMIPv6 experts in DMM working group.
