Access Network Identifier (ANI) Option for Proxy Mobile IPv6
Abstract
The local mobility anchor in a Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) domain is
able to provide access-network- and access-operator-specific handling
or policing of the mobile node traffic using information about the
access network to which the mobile node is attached. This
specification defines a mechanism and a related mobility option for
carrying the access network identifier and the access operator
identification information from the mobile access gateway to the
local mobility anchor over Proxy Mobile IPv6.

RFC 6757 Access Network Identifier Option October 2012
1. Introduction
Proxy Mobile IPv6 [RFC5213] can be used for supporting network-based
mobility management in various types of network deployments. Network
architectures such as service provider Wi-Fi access aggregation or
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) integrated with mobile packet core
are examples where Proxy Mobile IPv6 is a component of the overall
architecture. Some of these architectures require the ability of the
local mobility anchor (LMA) [RFC5213] to provide differentiated
services and policing of traffic to the mobile nodes based on the
access network to which they are attached. Policy systems in
mobility architectures such as the Policy and Charging Control (PCC)
