   the case of Client Mobile IPv6 and its extensions.  This mechanism
   allows the mobility entity which initiates the revocation procedure
   to request its corresponding one to terminate either one, multiple or

Internet-Draft    Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility     November 2008


1.  Introduction

   In the case of Mobile IPv6 and for administrative reason, sometimes
   it becomes necessary to inform the mobile node that its registration
   has been revoked and the mobile node is no longer able to receive IP
   mobility service using its Home Address.  In some networks where
   Mobile IPv4 [RFC3344] has been deployed, a similar Mobile IPv4
   registration revocation mechanism has been specified [RFC3543].

   This document defines the semantics of the revocation mechanism of a
   mobile node registration binding, which could have been established
   using a Client Mobile IPv6 or any of its extensions, e.g.  Proxy
   Mobile IPv6 signaling.  The proposed revocation mechanism uses a new
   MH type <IANA-TBD> for revocation signaling which is applicable to
   Mobile IPv6 [RFC3775] and Proxy Mobile IPv6 [RFC5213] and can be used
   by any two IP mobility entities.  As an example, this mechanism
   allows a local mobility anchor, involved in providing IP mobility
   services to a mobile node, to notify the mobile access gateway of the
   termination of a mobile node binding registration.  In another
   example, a mobile access gateway can use this mechanism to notify its
   local mobility anchor peer with a bulk termination of all or a subset
   of Proxy Mobile IPv6 bindings that are registered with the local
   mobility anchor and currently being served by the mobile access
   gateway.

3.  Binding Revocation Protocol and Use Cases Overview

   This specification defines a binding revocation mechanism where a
   mobility node can communicate to the mobile node or another mobility
   node the termination of the mobile node registration binding.  The
   following subsections describe the protocol overview and applicable
   use cases.

Internet-Draft    Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility     November 2008


3.1.  Binding Revocation Protocol

   In the case of Client Mobile IPv6, the revocation procedure can be
   initiated by the home agent.  If the home network decides to
   terminate the service of the mobile node, the home agent sends a
   Binding Revocation Indication (BRI) message to the mobile node.  The
   home agent includes the HoA option as specified in [RFC3775] to
   indicate the impacted mobile node binding.  When the mobile node
   receives a BRI message with its HoA included and the Acknowledge (A)
   bit is set, the mobile node responds by sending a Binding Revocation
   Acknowledgement (BRA) message.

   In the case of DSMIPv6 [ID-DSMIP6], the revocation procedure can also
   be initiated by the home agent.  If the home network decides to
   terminate the service of the mobile node, the home agent sends a BRI
   message to the mobile node to indicate the termination of the mobile
   node IP Mobility service.  The home agent may include the HoA option
   with the mobile node assigned home IPv4 address.  After receiving the
   BRI message with the Acknowledge (A) bit is set, the mobile node
   responds by sending a BRA message.

   Similarly, in the case of Proxy Mobile IPv6 [RFC5213], the revocation
   procedure can be initiated by the local mobility anchor by sending a
   BRI message to communicate the termination of a mobile node
   registration binding to the mobility access gateway.  In this case,
   the local mobility anchor includes the mobile node Home Network
   Prefix option [RFC5213] and the MN-ID option [RFC4283] to indicate to
   the mobility access gateway the identity of the PMIPv6 binding that
   needs to be terminated.  When the mobility access gateway receives
   the BRI message with the (A) bit set, the mobility access gateway
   responds to the local mobility anchor by sending a BRA message.

   On the other hand, the MAG usually sends a de-registration message by
   sending a Proxy BU with a lifetime of zero to indicate to the LMA of
   the termination of the PMIPv6 mobile node binding registration.  In
   this case, the MAG includes the MN HNP option, the MN-ID option and
   all other required mobility options as per [RFC5213] in order for the
   LMA to identify the mobile node PMIPv6 binding.  However, in the case
   when the mobility access gateway communicates a bulk termination of
   PMIPv6 sessions, the MAG sends a BRI message with the (G) and (A)
   bits are set and includes the MAG identity in the MN-ID option.  When
   the LMA receives such BRI message, it ensures that the mobility
   access gateway is authorized to send such bulk termination message
   and then process the BRI message accordingly.  If the local mobility
   anchor processes the BRI message successfully and since the (A) bit
   is set, the LMA responds to the mobile access gateway by sending the
   BRA message.  Additionally, the initiator of the binding revocation
   procedure includes an indication in the Revocation Trigger field to

   indicate to the receiving node the cause for the revocation
   procedure.

3.2.  Client MIPv6 and DSMIP6 Use Case

   Binding revocation mechanism is applicable to Client Mobile IPv6 and
   DSMIPv6 session(s) when the home agent needs to inform the mobile
   node that its binding registration has been revoked, e.g. for an
   administrative reason.  This mechanism enables the home domain to
   dynamically allow the user to act upon the revocation message in
   order to not have an unexpectedly interrupted mobile IPv6 services.


   In this case, the home agent sends a BRI message to indicate to the
   mobile node that its current mobile IPv6 binding has been revoked and
   it no longer can receive IP mobility service.  The home agent
   includes the mobile node home address in Type 2 header as used in
   [RFC3775] and sets the Revocation Trigger field to a proper value,
   e.g.  Administrative Reason.  In the case of DSMIPv6 session, the
   home agent may additionally include the mobile node assigned IPv4
   Home Address Option.  When the mobile node receives the BRI message,
   it sends a BRA message as described in Section 11.2 to the home
   agent.  Figure 1 illustrates the message sequencing when home agent
   revokes a mobile node binding registration.

3.3.  Multi-Care of Addresses (Monami6) Use Case

   In the case of Monami6 protocol, a mobile node is able to register
   multiple care-of addresses for the same home address [ID-MCoA].
   Binding revocation mechanism is applicable to Monami6 when the HA
   sends a BRI message to revoke a single or more care-of address
   bindings.

3.3.1.  Termination of Multiple Care-of Addresses Bindings

   In the case of multiple care-of addresses, the home agent maintains
   different binding for each pair of care-of address and home address.
   These bindings are also indexed and identified during the mobile node
   registration using a Binding ID mobility option [ID-MCoA].  In this
   case, the HA may revoke any binding, more than one binding, or all of
   the bindings for the same mobile node home address.

   In the case when home agent revokes a single binding for a mobile
   node with multiple care-of addresses registration, the home agent
   sends a BRI message to the mobile node with the corresponding BID
   option included and the HoA is in the Type 2 header.  If the home
   agent needs to revoke more than one of the mobile node registered
   care-of addresses, the home agent includes all the corresponding
   Binding ID options which reference these care-of addresses in the
   same BRI message.  Figure 2 illustrates the message flow when the HA
   revokes two registered Care-of addresses for the same MN in a single
   BRI message.  The home agent can revoke any registered binding(s) by
   sending a BRI message to the respective mobile node.

Internet-Draft    Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility     November 2008


3.3.2.  Termination of All Care-of Addresses Bindings

   The home agent may revoke all of the mobile node registered bindings,
   by sending a BRI message without including any BID options while the
   HoA is included in the Type 2 header.  Figure 1 illustrates the
   message flow when the home agent revokes all registered Care-of
   addresses bindings for a MN in a single BRI message.


3.4.  Proxy MIPv6 Use Case

   Since the Mobile node does not participate in the mobility mechanism
   in the case of PMIPv6, there are many scenarios where Binding
   Revocation mechanism is needed to clean resources and make sure that
   the mobility entities, e.g.  MAG and LMA, are always synchronized
   with respect to the status of the existing proxy mobile IPv6
   bindings.  The binding revocation mechanism is generic enough that
   can be used in all applicable PMIPv6 scenarios and deployment
   options.  For example, this revocation mechanism is still applicable
   and can be used when PMIPv6 is deployed with IPv6 or IPv4 transports
   and when the mobile node uses IPv4 or IPv6 address as specified in
   [ID-PMIP6-IPv4].


   When the MAG receives a BRI message as in Section 10.1.1, the MAG
   sends a BRA message to the LMA following the rules describes in
   Section 10.1.2.  Similarly if the LMA receives a BRI message with the
   (A) bit is set, the LMA responds to the MAG by sending a BRA message.


3.4.1.  Local Mobility Anchor Revokes A PMIPv6 Binding

   The local mobility anchor may send a BRI message to the mobile access
   gateway, hosting a specific proxy mobile IPv6 binding, with the
   appropriate value in the revocation trigger field to indicate that
   the mobile node binding has been terminated and the MAG can clean up
   the applicable resources.  When the MAG receives a BRI message, the
   MAG identify the respected binding and if the (A) bit was set in the
   received BRI message, the MAG sends a BRA message to the LMA.  In
   this case, the MAG could send a Router Advertisement message to the
   MN with the home network prefix lifetime is set to zero.

   As an example, Figure 3, illustrates the message sequence for
   revoking a mobile node binding at the source MAG during the MN inter-
   MAG handoff.  During the inter-MAG handoff, the mobile node moves
   from the source MAG to the target MAG.  The target MAG sends a PBU
   with the new care-of-address to the LMA to update the mobile node
   point of attachment.  Since the MN binding at the LMA points to the

Internet-Draft    Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility     November 2008


   source MAG and upon receiving the PBU from the target MAG, LMA
   updates the MN BCE and send a PBA to the target MAG.  LMA can send a
   BRI message with the appropriate revocation trigger value, e.g.
   inter-MAG handoff - same Access Types, to the source MAG in order to
   clean up the applicable resources reserved for the specified MN
   binding.  The MAG acknowledges the BRI message by sending a BRA
   message to indicate the success or failure of the termination of the
   mobile node binding.

   The process identified above can also be used by the LMA in scenarios
   other than the inter-MAG handoff with the proper revocation trigger
   value to indicate to the peer MAG that a specific proxy mobile IPv6
   binding or bindings have been revoked.

     Figure 3: LMA Revokes a MN Registration During Inter-MAG Handoff


3.4.2.  Local Mobility Anchor Revokes Bulk PMIPv6 Bindings

   The LMA sends a BRI message to indicate that all bindings which are
   hosted by the peer MAG and registered with the LMA are being revoked
   by setting the (G) bit as described in Section 9.1.1.

Internet-Draft    Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility     November 2008


3.4.3.  Mobile Access Gateway Revoke Bulk PMIPv6 Bindings

   The mobile access gateway sends a BRI message with the (G) bit is set
   to indicate that all mobility bindings which are registered at the
   LMA and attached to the MAG are being revoked as in Section 10.2.1.
   When the LMA receives a BRI message with the (G) bit is set from a
   specified MAG, the LMA checks if the MAG is authorized to use global
   revocations and responds with the appropriate status code by sending
   a BRA message as in Section 9.2.2.


4.  Security Model

   The binding revocation protocol described here uses the same security
   association between the MN and the HA or the MAG and the LMA that has
   been used to exchange the corresponding Client MIPv6 or Proxy MIPv6
   BU and BA when the mobile node binding was created.  If IPsec is
   used, the SPD of the respected IPsec SA MUST allow the Binding
   Revocation Signaling MH type <IANA-TBD> in order to allow BRI and BRA
   messages to be exchanged.

   Additionally, in the case when the LMA receives a BRI which indicates
   a bulk termination, i.e., the (G) bit is set, the LMA MUST verify
   that the MAG sending the binding revocation indication message is
   authorized to invoke Global revocation.


5.  Exchanging Binding Revocation Messages over an IPv4 Transport
    Network

   In some deployments, the network between the MAG and the LMA may only
   support IPv4 transport.  In this case, the Binding Revocation
   messages (BRI and BRA) are tunneled over IPv4.  If the Proxy Binding
   Update and Proxy Binding Acknowledgment messages are sent using UDP
   encapsulation to traverse NATs, then the Binding Revocation messages
   are sent using the same UDP encapsulation.  The same UDP port that
   was used for the Proxy Binding Update and Proxy Binding
   Acknowledgement messages will also be used when transporting Binding
   Revocation messages over IPv4 using UDP encapsulation.  For more
   details on tunneling Proxy Mobile IPv6 signaling messages over IPv4,
   see [ID-PMIP6-IPv4].


6.  Binding Revocation Message

   This section defines a Binding Revocation Message that use a MH type
   <IANA-TBD> with a Binding Revocation type field that follow the MH
   format described in section 6.1.  [RFC3775].  The value in the

   Binding Revocation Type field as shown in Figure 4 defines the type
   of the Binding Revocation message, (BRI or BRA).  If the Binding
   Revocation type field is set to 1, the Binding Revocation Message is
   a Binding Revocation Indication message as in Section 6.1.  However,
   when the Binding Revocation type field is set to a value 2, the
   Binding Revocation Message is a Binding Revocation Acknowledgement

      and skip any options which it does not understand.  These mobility
      option(s) are used by the receiving mobility entity to identify
      the specific binding or bindings that the sending mobility entity
      requesting to be revoked.

   The following options are valid in a Binding Revocation Indication:

   o  Home Network Prefix option [RFC5213].  This option MAY be used
      when the (P) bit is set.  This option MUST be present when the BRI
      is used to revoke a single PMIP binding cache entry.

   o  Mobile Node Identifier Option [RFC4283].  This option is mandatory
      when the (P) bit is set.  Additionally, If the (G) bit is set by
      the mobile access gateway, this option carries the MAG identity.

   o  Binding ID mobility option [ID-MCoA].  This option is mandatory if
      the sending mobility entity request to terminate one binding of a
      multi care-of addresses bindings for the same mobile node.  The
      sending mobility entity may include more than one of the Binding
      ID mobility options.

   o  IPv4 Home Address option which contains the mobile node home IPv4
      address [ID-DSMIP6].

   If no options are present in this message, 4 octets of padding are
   necessary and the Header Len field of the Binding Revocation Message
   will be set to 1.

6.2.  Binding Revocation Acknowledgement Message

   The Binding Revocation Acknowledgement (BRA) message is a Binding
   Revocation Message which has a MH type <IANA-TBD> and a Binding
   Revocation Type value of 2.  It is used to acknowledge the receipt of
   a Binding Revocation Indication message described in Section 6.1.
   This packet is sent as described in Section 9.2.2, Section 10.1.2,
   and Section 11.2.

   When the value 2 is indicated in the Binding Revocation type field of
   the Binding Revocation Message, the format of the Binding Revocation
   Message Data follows the Binding Revocation Acknowledgement message

      when the Status field is set to success, no mobility option is
      required.  The mobility option(s) is usually used to communicate
      information of the bindings that failed the revocation procedure.

   The following options are valid in a Binding Revocation
   Acknowledgement:

   o  Home Network Prefix option [RFC5213].  This option MAY be included
      when the (P) bit is set.

   o  Mobile Node Identifier Option [RFC4283].  This option MAY be
      included when the (P) bit is set.  This option SHOULD be included
      if the Home Network Prefix option is included.

   o  Binding ID mobility option [ID-MCoA].  This option MAY be included
      to indicate the specific Binding ID that the receiving node failed
      to revoke.

   If no options are present in this message, 4 octets of padding are
   necessary and the Header Len field of the Binding Revocation Message
   will be set to 1.


7.  Binding Revocation Process Considerations

   The following subsections describe the details of the binding
   revocation generic process by the different mobility entities.

7.1.  Sending Binding Revocation Messages

   When sending a Binding Revocation message, the sending mobility node,
   initiator, follows the rules of constructing a Mobility Header as in
   Section 9.2 of [RFC3775] with the exception of setting the MH Type



Muhanna, et al.           Expires May 29, 2009                 [Page 16]


Internet-Draft    Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility     November 2008


   field to <IANA-TBD and the appropriate value of the Binding
   Revocation Type field.


   The mobility entity which initiates the revocation process,
   initiator, MUST use the underlying IPsec security association that
   has been used during the mobile node binding registration to secure
   the BRI and BRA messages transmission with the responding mobility
   entity, responder.


   When a mobility entity initiate the binding revocation process by
   sending a Binding Revocation Indication message, the initiator MUST
   construct the BRI message as described in Section 6.1.  In the BRI
   message, the initiator MUST set the Sequence Number field to the next
   sequence number available for Binding Revocation.  Since sending BRI
   messages is not done on a regular basis, a 16 bit sequence number
   field is large enough to allow the initiator to match the BRA to the
   outstanding BRI with (A) bit set using the sequence number field
   only.


   On the other hand, when the responder acknowledge the BRI message by
   sending a BRA, the responder MUST construct the Binding Revocation
   Acknowledgement as described in Section 6.2.  In this case, the
   responder MUST set the Sequence Number field by copying the value
   from the Sequence Number field of the received Binding Revocation
   Indication.  Additionally, it MUST set the status field to a valid
   value that reflects the processing of the received Binding Revocation
   Indication.

7.2.  Receiving Binding Revocation Messages

   When receiving a Binding Revocation message, the receiving mobility
   node MUST verify the Mobility Header as in [RFC3775].  If the packet
   is dropped due to failing any of the Mobility Headers test check, the
   receiving node MUST follow the processing rules as in Section 9.2 of
   [RFC3775].  For example, it MUST send a Binding Error message with
   the Status field set to 2 (unrecognized MH Type value) if it does not
   support the received binding revocation message type.


   Since some mobility entities, e.g.  LMA and MAG, are allowed to
   receive and possibly send a BRI or a BRA for different cases, IPsec
   mechanism will prevent any possible man in the middle reflection
   attack.





Muhanna, et al.           Expires May 29, 2009                 [Page 17]


Internet-Draft    Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility     November 2008


   Upon receiving a packet carrying a Binding Revocation Indication, the
   receiving mobility entity, responder, validates that the packet was
   received protected with the underlying IPsec protection with the
   responding mobility entity.


   Upon receiving a packet carrying a Binding Revocation
   Acknowledgement, the receiving mobility entity, initiator, MUST
   validate that Sequence Number field matches the Sequence Number of an
   outstanding Binding Revocation Indication that was sent by the
   initiator.  If the Sequence Number does not match any sequence number
   of any of the outstanding BRI, the receiving node MUST ignore the
   message but MAY log the event.

7.3.  Retransmission of Binding Revocation Indication

   If the sending mobility entity does not receive a Binding Revocation
   Acknowledgement in response to the outstanding Binding Revocation
   Indication before the MINDelayBRIs timer expires, the mobility
   entity, e.g.  LMA, may retransmit the same BRI message up to the
   BRIMaxRetriesNumber as defined in Section 12.  If the revoking
   mobility entity does not receive a BRA message after the maximum
   number of retransmits have been sent, the revoking mobility entity
   can clean the mobile node binding cache and all resources associated
   with this binding.  The revoking mobility entity may log the event.


8.  Home Agent Operation

8.1.  Sending Binding Revocation Indication

   When an event requires the home agent to terminate a mobile node
   mobile IPv6 registration, e.g. for administrative reason, the home
   agent sends a Binding Revocation Indication message to the mobile
   node to inform the mobile node that its specified binding has been
   revoked and it will no longer be able to receive an IP connectivity
   via its binding with the home agent.

   To terminate a mobile node registration and its current binding with
   the home agent, the home agent sends a packet to the mobile node
   containing a Binding Revocation Indication, with the packet
   constructed as follows:

   o  The Acknowledge (A) bit MAY be set in the BRI to request the
      mobile node to send a Binding Revocation Acknowledgement upon
      receipt of the BRI.

Internet-Draft    Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility     November 2008


   o  The Revocation Trigger field MUST be set in the Binding Revocation
      Indication to indicate to the mobile node the reason for revoking
      its IP mobility binding with the home agent.  The Revocation
      Trigger may be used by the mobile node to take further steps if
      necessary.

   o  The Binding Revocation Indication MUST be sent using a type 2
      routing header which contains the mobile node's registered home
      address for the binding being revoked.

   o  The care-of address for the binding MUST be used as the
      destination address in the packet's IPv6 header, unless an
      Alternate Care-of Address mobility option is included in the
      Binding Revocation Indication.

   o  The packet MAY contain an IPv4 Home Address option which contains
      the mobile node's registered IPv4 home address for the binding
      being revoked.


   The Acknowledge (A) bit in the Binding Revocation Indication requests
   the mobile node to return a Binding Revocation Acknowledgement in
   response to this Binding Revocation Indication.  As described in
   Section 7.3, the home agent SHOULD retransmit this Binding Revocation
   Indication to the mobile node before terminating its IP connection
   until it receives a matching Binding Revocation Acknowledgement or
   the BRIMaxRetransmitNumber has been reached.

   When the home agent send a BRI to the mobile node with the (A) bit is
   set, the home agent sets a flag in the mobile node BCE to indicate
   that revocation is in progress and starts the MINDelayBRIs timer.
   The home agent maintains the mobile node BCE in this state until it
   receives a Binding Revocation Acknowledgement or the
   BRIMaxRetransmitNumber is reached.

   When the home agent needs to revoke one or more of a mobile node
   bindings that were created using Multi Care-of address registration
   as in [ID-MCoA], the home agent MUST include all the related Binding
   ID options that identify these bindings in the Binding Revocation
   Indication message.  In the case when the home agent needs to revoke
   all of the mobile node bindings, the home agent MUST NOT include any
   of the Binding ID options.

   The home agent MUST use the IPsec security association that has been
   used during the MIPv6 binding registration with the HA to secure the
   BRI and BRA messages transmission with the mobile node.

8.2.  Receiving Binding Revocation Acknowledgement

   When the home agent receives a packet carrying a valid BRA that was
   successfully processed as in Section 7.2, the home agent SHOULD
   examine the Status field as follows:

   o  If the Status field indicates that the Binding Revocation
      Indication was processed successfully, the home agent deletes the
      MINDelayBRIs timer and the mobile node bindings and all related
      resources.

   o  If the Status field indicates any value other than success, the
      home agent SHOULD examine any mobility options included in the
      Binding Revocation Acknowledgement.  The home agent MAY log the
      appropriate event to reflect the status of the received BRA.

9.1.  Binding Revocation Initiator

9.1.1.  Sending Binding Revocation Indication

   When an event requires the local mobility agent to terminate a mobile
   node proxy mobile IPv6 registration, e.g. for administrative reason
   or inter-MAG handover, the local mobility agent sends a Binding
   Revocation Indication message to the mobile access gateway which host
   the mobile node proxy CoA to indicate that the mobile node specified
   binding should be removed.  It also indicate that the LMA will no
   longer maintain a tunnel for this mobile node binding which points to
   the mobile node proxy CoA that is hosted at this MAG.

   To terminate a mobile node proxy mobile IPv6 registration and its
   current PMIPv6 binding with the local mobility agent, the LMA sends a
   packet to the MAG containing a BRI message following the procedure in
   Section 7.1 and the following rules:

   o  The Acknowledge (A) bit MAY be set in the Binding Revocation
      Indication to request the mobile access gateway to send a Binding
      Revocation Acknowledgement upon receipt of the BRI.

   o  The Proxy Mobile IP (P) bit MUST be set in the BRI message to
      indicate that the binding being revoked is a proxy Mobile IPv6
      binding.

Internet-Draft    Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility     November 2008


   o  The Revocation Trigger field MUST be set in the Binding Revocation
      Indication to indicate to the mobile access gateway the reason for
      removing the specified mobile node proxy mobile IPv6 binding at
      the LMA.  The Revocation Trigger may be used by the mobile access
      gateway node to learn the mobile node latest movement.

   o  In case of revoking all Per-Peer bindings, the Global (G) bit MUST
      be set and the Revocation Trigger MUST contain a value of "Per-
      Peer Policy" in the Binding Revocation Indication to request the
      mobile access gateway to remove all Per-Peer bindings that are
      registered with the LMA and hosted at this MAG.

   o  Whenever the Global (G) bit is set in the BRI, the Acknowledge (A)
      bit MUST be set to request the mobile access gateway to send a
      Binding Revocation Acknowledgement upon receipt of the BRI.

   o  The packet MUST contain the Mobile Node Identifier, MN-ID, option
      which contains the mobile node's NAI that was used in the proxy
      Binding Update during the mobile node registration.

   o  The packet MUST contain a Home Network Prefix option, which
      contains the mobile node's registered HNP for the binding being
      revoked.

   o  The care-of address for the binding MAY be used as the destination
      address in the packet's IPv6 header, unless an Alternate Care-of
      Address mobility option is included in the Binding Revocation
      Indication message.


   The Acknowledge (A) bit in the Binding Revocation Indication requests
   the mobile access gateway to return a Binding Revocation
   Acknowledgement in response to this Binding Revocation Indication.
   As described in Section 7.3, the LMA SHOULD retransmit this BRI to
   the MAG before deleting the mobile node IP tunnel to the mobile
   access gateway until it receives a matching Binding Revocation
   Acknowledgement or the BRIMaxRetransmitNumber is reached.  The local
   mobility anchor MAY delete the mobile node(s) IP tunnel immediately
   after sending the Binding Revocation Indication and before receiving
   the BRA message.

   When the local mobility anchor sends a Binding Revocation Indication
   to the mobile access gateway to remove a specific binding, the local
   mobility anchor sets a flag in the mobile node proxy BCE to indicate
   that revocation is in progress and starts the MINDelayBRIs timer.
   The local mobility anchor SHOULD maintain the mobile node proxy BCE
   in this state until it receives a Binding Revocation Acknowledgement
   or the BRIMaxRetransmitNumber is reached.  In the case when the local

   mobility anchor sets the Revocation Trigger field to a value which
   indicate inter-MAG handover, the local mobility anchor MAY switch the
   mobile node IP tunnel to the target mobile access gateway before
   sending a Binding Revocation Indication to the sources mobile access
   gateway.

   When the local mobility anchor needs to revoke all mobile nodes proxy
   BCE that are registered with the local mobility anchor and hosted at
   the mobile access gateway, the LMA MUST set the Global (G) bit and
   the value of the Revocation Trigger field to "Per-Peer Policy".  In
   this case, the LMA MUST NOT include any mobility options in the BRI.

   When the LMA needs to revoke all mobile nodes proxy BCE that belong
   to a specific realm, e.g. @companyabc.com, and are registered with
   the LMA and hosted at the MAG, the local mobility anchor MUST set the
   Global (G) bit and the value of the Revocation Trigger field to
   "Revoking Node Local Policy".  In this case, the local mobility
   anchor MUST include a mobility option to identify the impacted
   bindings, e.g.  MN-ID option with a wildcard NAI, e.g.
   *@companyabc.com, to identify all the mobile nodes BCEs that need to
   be removed.

   When the mobile node is registered with multiple Home Network
   Prefixes for the same proxy care-of address, the local mobility
   anchor SHOULD include a HNP option for each registered HNP in the
   BRI.  Alternatively, the LMA MAY include only the mobile node
   identifier, MN-ID, option in the BRI to indicate to the mobile access
   gateway to remove all bindings of the specified mobile node NAI in
   the MN-ID option.

   When the mobile node is registered with an IPv4 proxy home address in
   addition to the Home Network Prefix where both of the IPv4 pHoA and
   HNP are bound to the same proxy CoA, the local mobility anchor MAY
   revoke the mobile node IPv4 proxy HoA binding to the current mobile
   node proxy CoA while maintaining the mobile node binding of the HNP
   to its current pCoA as part of the mobile node BCE.  In this case, if
   the LMA decides to revoke the mobile node IPv4 proxy HoA ONLY, the
   LMA MUST send a BRI message following the procedure in Section 7.1
   and the following rules:

   o  The Acknowledge (A) bit MUST be set in the BRI to request the MAG
      to send a BRA message.

   o  The Revocation Trigger field MUST be set to "IPv4 HoA Binding
      ONLY".

   o  The IPv4 Home Address option MUST be included with the mobile node
      IPv4 home address that to be released in addition to the MN-ID
      option.

   o  The mobile node HNP option MUST NOT be included.


9.1.2.  Receiving Binding Revocation Acknowledgement

   When the local mobility anchor receives a packet carrying a valid
   Binding Revocation Acknowledgement that was successfully processed as
   in Section 7.2 and if the mobile node BCE is in the state of
   Revocation in progress, the local mobility anchor SHOULD examine the
   Status field before clearing the mobile node related resources as
   follows:

   o  If the Status field indicates that the BRI was processed
      successfully, the local mobility anchor delete the MINDelayBRIs
      timer and the mobile node proxy bindings and all associated
      resources.

   o  If the Status field indicates partial success value or MN binding
      does not exist, the local mobility anchor SHOULD examine mobility
      options that are included in the Binding Revocation
      Acknowledgement, if any, before deleting the MINDelayBRIs timer
      and the mobile node associated proxy bindings and all related
      resources.  It is based on the LMA local policy how to handle the
      mobile node BCE(s) that the mobile access gateway indicated it
      failed the revocation procedure, however, the LMA MAY log the
      event.

9.2.1.  Receiving Binding Revocation Indication

   When the local mobility anchor receives a packet carrying a Binding
   Revocation Indication that was successfully processed as in
   Section 7.2, the local mobility anchor SHOULD in addition process the
   message as follows:

   o  Binding Revocation Indication is formatted as in Section 6.1 and
      if the (P) bit is set, the local mobility anchor MUST validate
      that all impacted binding(s) have the proxy binding flag set.

   o  If the Global (G) bit is set, the BRI SHOULD contain the mobile
      access gateway ID in the MN-ID option.  The local mobility anchor
      MUST verify that the identified mobile access gateway as per the

      value in the MN-ID option is authorized to use the Per-Peer Global
      bindings revocation.  The mechanism the LMA uses to verify the MAG
      authorization is out of scope of this document.  When the (P) bit
      is set, this Binding Revocation Indication impact only the mobile
      nodes bindings that have the Proxy Mobile IP flag set.

   o  The LMA identify all impacted mobile nodes bindings and if the
      Acknowledgement (A) bit is set, the local mobility anchor MUST
      send a Binding Revocation Acknowledgement following Section 9.2.2
      using the appropriate status code.

   o  If the Global (G) bit is not set, the local mobility anchor MUST
      use the included mobility options to identify the impacted mobile
      node binding as follows:

      1.  If only the mobile node identifier, MN-ID, option is included,
          the local mobility anchor MUST revoke all bindings for this
          mobile node which have a proxy CoA that is used as the source
          of the IPv6 packet that carried the BRI or in the Alternate
          Care-of-Address option in the BRI.

      2.  If the mobile node identifier, MN-ID, and the Home Network
          Prefix option are included, the local mobility anchor MUST
          only remove the specified proxy binding.

      3.  If the mobile node identifier, MN-ID, option and more than one
          Home Network Prefix options are included, the local mobility
          anchor MUST remove all bindings which are referenced by these
          multiple Home Network Prefixes for the specified mobile node
          NAI.  In case that these Home Network Prefixes are all the
          allocated Home Network Prefixes for the mobile node BCE, the
          LMA needs to remove the mobile node BCE.


   The Revocation Trigger field value in the received Binding Revocation
   Indication could be used by the local mobility anchor to log an event
   or update some local parameters which tracks the state of the peer
   mobile access gateway.

9.2.2.  Sending Binding Revocation Acknowledgement

   When the local mobility anchor receive a valid Binding Revocation

   o  If the (P) bit was set in the received Binding Revocation
      Indication, the local mobility anchor MUST set the (P) bit in the
      BRA.

   o  If the Global (G) bit was set in the received BRI, the local
      mobility anchor MUST set the (G) bit in the Binding Revocation
      Acknowledgement.

   o  The local mobility anchor MUST set the status field to a valid
      code that reflects the processing of the received Binding
      Revocation Indication.  If the mobile access gateway is not
      authorized to use the Per-Peer Global revocation feature, the LMA
      MUST set the status field to (Global Revocation NOT Authorized).

   o  The LMA MAY set the status field to partial success and in this
      case it MAY include the mobile node identifier or the Home Network
      Prefix option to identify the binding(s) that failed revocation.

   o  The destination IP address of the IPv6 packet of the Binding

10.  Mobile Access Gateway Operation

10.1.  Binding Revocation Responder

10.1.1.  Receiving Binding Revocation Indication

   Upon receiving a packet carrying a Binding Revocation Indication, the
   mobile access gateway MUST validate the packet according to
   Section 7.2 and the following:

   o  BRI MUST be formatted as in Section 6.1 and if the (P) bit is set,
      the mobile access gateway must validate that the impacted binding
      have the proxy binding flag set.

   o  If the Acknowledgement (A) bit in the received BRI is set, the
      mobile access gateway MUST send a Binding Revocation
      Acknowledgement following Section 10.1.2 using the appropriate
      status value.

   o  If the Global (G) bit is set and the Revocation Trigger field is
      set to "Per-Peer policy", the mobile access gateway identify all
      bindings that are registered at the LMA and hosted at the MAG.
      This Binding Revocation Indication does not include any other
      mobility options.  However, if the (P) bit is set, this BRI MUST

      only impact mobile nodes bindings that have the Proxy Mobile IP
      flag set.  In this case, the MAG MUST send a BRA with the
      appropriate status code to the LMA.

   o  If the Global (G) bit is set and the Revocation Trigger field is
      set to "Revoking Node Local Policy", the MAG MUST identify all
      bindings that are registered at the LMA and hosted at the MAG
      using the mobility option(s) included in the BRI.  This Binding
      Revocation Indication SHOULD include at least the MN-ID option,
      e.g. with a wild card NAI.  In this case, the MAG MUST send a BRA
      with the appropriate status code to the LMA.

   o  If the Global (G) bit is set and the Revocation Trigger field is
      set to "Revoking Node Local Policy", and no mobility options are
      included in the Binding Revocation Indication message or the MAG
      is not able to identify the impacted mobile nodes bindings based
      on the included mobility options, the MAG MUST treat this as an
      error scenario.  In this case, the MAG SHOULD send a Binding
      Revocation Acknowledgement message with status "CAN NOT Identify
      Binding".

   o  If the Revocation Trigger field value in the received Binding
      Revocation Indication message indicates an inter-MAG handover and
      the (A) bit is set, the MAG use the mobility option(s) included in
      the BRI message to identify the mobile node binding.  The mobile
      access gateway MAY validate that the mobile node is no longer
      attached to the mobile access gateway before sending a successful
      Binding Revocation Acknowledgement message to the LMA.  However,
      if the Revocation Trigger field is set to "Inter-MAG - Unknown
      Handoff", the MAG MUST validate that the mobile node is no longer
      attached to the MAG before sending a successful BRA message and
      deleting the resources associated with the mobile node binding.

   o  If the Revocation Trigger field in the received BRI message is set
      to "IPv4 HoA Binding ONLY", the MAG uses the MN-ID option to
      identify the mobile node binding entry in the BUL.  The MAG MUST
      verify that the IPv4 address included in the IPv4 Home Address
      option in the received BRI is the same as the IPv4 proxy HoA that
      is assigned to the mobile node.  After the MAG successfully
      validate the received IPv4 home address as the mobile node IPv4
      HoA, the MAG MUST consider this as an indication to release the
      mobile node IPv4 proxy HoA binding to the mobile node current
      proxy CoA ONLY.  Consequently, the MAG MUST continue to maintain
      the mobile node IPv6 proxy HoA or HNP binding to the current
      mobile node proxy CoA as part of the mobile node binding in the
      BUL entry and release all resources associated with the MN IPv4
      proxy HoA binding to the MN pCoA.  In this case, the MAG MUST send
      a BRA message with the status field is set to success.  On the

      other hand, if the MAG is able to identify the mobile node binding
      using the MN-ID but failed to identify the received IPv4 proxy
      HoA, the MAG MUST send a BRA with status field is set to "IPv4 HoA
      Binding Does NOT Exist".

   The Revocation Trigger field value in the received BRI could be used
   by the mobile access gateway to define what actions the MAG could do
   to inform the mobile node that its IP connectivity to the current HNP
   has been terminated. e.g. if the Revocation Trigger field is set to
   "Administrative Reason", the mobile access gateway may send a RA
   message after setting the Home Network Prefix lifetime to zero.

10.1.2.  Sending Binding Revocation Acknowledgement

   When the mobile access gateway receive a valid Binding Revocation
   Indication with the (A) bit is set and after processing the BRI
   message, the mobile access gateway sends a packet to the local
   mobility anchor containing a Binding Revocation Acknowledgement
   according to the procedure in Section 7.1 and the following:

   o  The mobile access gateway MUST set the (P) bit in the Binding
      Revocation Acknowledgement if it is set in the received BRI.

   o  If the Global (G) bit was set in the received BRI, the mobile
      access gateway MUST set the (G) bit in the Binding Revocation
      Acknowledgement.

   o  The mobile access gateway MUST set the status field to a valid
      code that reflects the processing of the received Binding
      Revocation Indication.

   o  The mobile access gateway MAY set the status field to partial
      success and in this case it MAY include the mobile node
      identifier, MN-ID, or the Home Network Prefix option to identify
      the binding(s) that failed to be removed as part of the revocation
      procedure.

   o  The destination IP address of the IPv6 packet of the Binding
      Revocation Acknowledgement is set to the source IP address of the
      received Binding Revocation Indication.

10.2.1.  Sending Binding Revocation Indication

   The mobile access gateway could send a Binding Revocation Indication
   message to indicate the termination of multiple mobile node bindings,
   e.g., when using the global revocation with the Global (G) bit is
   set.  In this case when an event occurs which requires the mobile
   access gateway to inform the LMA to terminate all mobile nodes
   bindings that are registered at the local mobility anchor and the
   mobile access gateway, the mobile access gateway sends a Binding
   Revocation Indication message following Section 7.1 and the
   following:

   o  The Acknowledge (A) bit MUST be set in the Binding Revocation
      Indication to request the local mobility anchor to send a Binding
      Revocation Acknowledgement upon receipt of the BRI.

   o  The Proxy Mobile IP (P) bit MUST be set in the Binding Revocation
      Indication to indicate that bindings that being revoked is a proxy
      Mobile IPv6 binding.

   o  The Global (G) bit MUST be set and the Revocation Trigger contains
      a value of "Per-Peer Policy" in the Binding Revocation Indication
      to request the LMA to remove all Per-Peer bindings that are
      registered with the LMA and hosted at this MAG.  In this case, the
      MN-ID option MUST be included in the BRI and contains the mobile
      access gateway identity.

   o  The mobile access gateway address MAY be used as the Source
      Address in the packet's IPv6 header.


   The Acknowledge (A) bit in the Binding Revocation Indication requests
   the local mobility anchor to return a BRA in response to this Binding
   Revocation Indication.  As described in Section 7.3, the mobile
   access gateway SHOULD retransmit this BRI to the local mobility
   anchor until it receives a matching BRA or the BRIMaxRetransmitNumber
   is reached.  The mobile access gateway MAY delete the mobile nodes IP
   tunnels immediately after sending the Binding Revocation Indication
   before receiving a BRA message from the LMA.

10.2.2.  Receiving Binding Revocation Acknowledgement

   When the mobile access gateway receive a packet carrying a valid
   Binding Revocation Acknowledgement that was successfully processed
   according to Section 7.2, the mobile access gateway MUST validate the
   BRA as per the followings:

   o  When the mobile access gateway receive a packet carrying a valid
      Binding Revocation Acknowledgement and the Global (G) and Proxy
      MIPv6 (P) bits are set and the mobile nodes BCEs are in the state
      of Revocation in Progress, the mobile access gateway SHOULD
      examine the Status field as follows:

   o  If the Status field indicates that the Binding Revocation
      Indication was processed successfully, the mobile access gateway
      delete the MINDelayBRIs timer and the mobile nodes proxy bindings
      and all associated resources.

   o  If the Status field indicates (Global Revocation NOT Authorized),
      the mobile access gateway is not authorized to participate in a
      Per-Peer Global Revocation.  The mobile access gateway SHOULD NOT
      retry sending a Binding Revocation Indication with the Global (G)
      bit is set to the same local mobility agent.  The mobile access
      gateway should raise an alarm or log an event to indicate this
      rejection.


11.  Mobile Node Operation

11.1.  Receiving Binding Revocation Indication

   Upon receiving a packet carrying a Binding Revocation Indication, the
   mobile node MUST validate the packet according to Section 7.2 and the
   following tests:

   o  The mobile node MUST verify that the IP address in the type 2
      routing header is its Home Address.

   o  If the Acknowledgement (A) bit is set in the Binding Revocation
      Indication and the MN has the BCE in registered state, the mobile
      node MUST send a Binding Revocation Acknowledgement.  However, in
      all other cases when the (A) bit is set in the BRI, the mobile
      node SHOULD send a Binding Revocation Acknowledgement.  In all
      cases, the mobile node MUST follow Section 11.2 when send a BRA
      using the appropriate status code.

   o  The mobile node MUST verify that the (P) bit in the Binding
      Revocation Indication is NOT set.  If the (P) bit is set, the
      mobile node MUST silently discard the Binding Revocation
      Indication message.

   o  If the Revocation Trigger field value is "Administrative Reason",
      the mobile node MUST NOT try to re-register with the home agent
      before contacting its home operator.

   o  If the mobile node has registered multiple care-of addresses with
      its home agent, the mobile node MUST verify which binding is being
      revoked by examining the content of the BRI message.  If the
      mobile node received a Binding Revocation Indication with a single
      or more than one Binding ID options and its home address is
      included in the type 2 routing header, the mobile node MUST
      consider all of the care-of address(es) binding(s), identified in
      the Binding ID options, with this home address are being revoked.

   o  If the mobile node has multi Care-of Addresses bindings with its
      home agent and received a Binding Revocation Indication, without
      any Binding ID option included and its home address was included
      in the type 2 routing header, the mobile node MUST consider all of
      its registered care-of addresses bindings with this home address
      are being revoked.


   The Revocation Trigger field value in the received Binding Revocation
   Indication could be used by the mobile node to define what action the
   mobile node could do to be able to register again and receive its IP
   mobility service, e.g. contacting its home operator.

11.2.  Sending Binding Revocation Acknowledgement

   When the mobile node receive a valid Binding Revocation Indication
   with the (A) bit is set from its home agent and while having this BCE
   in registered state, the mobile node MUST send a packet to its home
   agent containing a Binding Revocation Acknowledgement according to
   the procedure in Section 7.1 and the following:

   o  The mobile node MUST set the status field to successful to reflect
      that it has received the Binding Revocation Indication and
      acknowledge that its IP connectivity with its home agent has been
      revoked.

   o  The destination IP address of the IPv6 packet of the Binding
      Revocation Acknowledgement is set to the source IP address of the
      received IPv6 packet of the Binding Revocation Indication.  The
      Mobile Node MUST include its home address in the Home Address
      option in the Destination Option.

   o  If the mobile node receives a Binding Revocation Indication from a
      home agent which the mobile node does not have a registered
      binding with, the mobile node SHOULD silently discard the BRI
      message.  The mobile node should continue to use its assigned HoA
      to access its IP mobility service.

12.  Protocol Configuration Variables

   Any mobility entity which is allowed to invoke the binding revocation
   procedure by sending a Binding Revocation Indication message SHOULD
   allow the following variables to be configured.

   BRI Maximum Number of Retries (BRIMaxRetriesNumber)

      This variable specifies the maximum Number of times a mobility
      entity can retransmit a Binding Revocation Indication message
      before receiving a Binding Revocation Acknowledgement message.
      The default value for this parameter is 1.

   Minimum Delay Between BRI messages (MINDelayBRIs)

      This variable specifies the delay time in seconds before the
      revoking mobility entity retransmits a BRI message.  The default
      is 1 second but not less than 0.5 seconds.


13.  IANA Considerations

   This document defines two new messages BRI and BRA, as described in
   Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 by using Binding Revocation types of 1
   and 2 of the Binding Revocation Message which is defined in in
   Section 6 and uses a MH type <IANA-TBD>.  The new Mobility Header
   type value needs to be assigned from the same numbering space as
   allocated for the other Mobility Header types.


14.  Security Considerations

   The protocol described here uses the same security association
   between the MN and the HA or the MAG and the LMA that has been used
   to exchange the corresponding MIPv6 or Proxy MIPv6 BU and BA when the
   session was established.  If IPsec is used, The SPD of this IPsec SA
   MUST allow the MH type for the Binding Revocation Message defined in
   this document.

   However, in the case when the MAG sends a BRI message with the Global
   (G) bit is set, the LMA MUST verify that the MAG is authorized to use
   Per-Peer Global Revocation.
