However, in certain scenarios, there are multiple concurrent paths involved in the communication. In this case, the normal NSIS scheme does not provide sufficient support for the state manipulation. Therefore, extra functionality for data path identification and distinction is necessary. In current Internet, with the increasing use of multi-homing devices and the employment of Mobile IP, the above issue is getting more prominent. This draft discusses in detail the problems and issues involved in the NSIS state management relevant to the data path differentiation. Specific scenarios for multi-homing and Mobile IP route optimization are studied. Potential solution and its impacts on current NSIS protocol design are discussed as well.}, }
