Proxy Mobile IPv6 Extensions to Support Flow Mobility
Abstract
Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) allows a mobile node to connect to the
same PMIPv6 domain through different interfaces. This document
describes extensions to the PMIPv6 protocol that are required to
support network-based flow mobility over multiple physical
interfaces.
This document updates RFC 5213. The extensions described in this
document consist of the operations performed by the local mobility
anchor and the mobile access gateway to manage the prefixes assigned
to the different interfaces of the mobile node, as well as how the
forwarding policies are handled by the network to ensure consistent
flow mobility management.

RFC 7864 PMIPv6 Flow Mobility May 2016
1. Introduction
Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6), specified in [RFC5213], provides network-
based mobility management to hosts connecting to a PMIPv6 domain.
PMIPv6 introduces two new functional entities, the Local Mobility
Anchor (LMA) and the Mobile Access Gateway (MAG). The MAG is the
entity detecting the Mobile Node's (MN's) attachment and providing IP
connectivity. The LMA is the entity assigning one or more Home
Network Prefixes (HNPs) to the MN and is the topological anchor for
all traffic belonging to the MN.
PMIPv6 allows an MN to connect to the same PMIPv6 domain through
