Multiple Care-of Addresses Registration
Abstract
According to the current Mobile IPv6 specification, a mobile node may
have several care-of addresses but only one, called the primary
care-of address, can be registered with its home agent and the
correspondent nodes. However, for matters of cost, bandwidth, delay,
etc, it is useful for the mobile node to get Internet access through
multiple accesses simultaneously, in which case the mobile node would
be configured with multiple active IPv6 care-of addresses. This
document proposes extensions to the Mobile IPv6 protocol to register
and use multiple care-of addresses. The extensions proposed in this
document can be used by mobile routers using the NEMO (Network
Mobility) Basic Support protocol as well.
