Home Network Prefix Renumbering in Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6)
Abstract
In the basic Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) specification, a Mobile Node
(MN) is assigned with a Home Network Prefix (HNP) during its initial
attachment, and the MN configures its Home Address (HoA) with the
HNP. During the movement of the MN, the HNP remains unchanged to
keep ongoing communications associated with the HoA. However, the
current PMIPv6 specification does not specify related operations when
HNP renumbering has occurred (e.g., due to change of service provider
or site topology, etc.). In this document, a solution to support HNP
renumbering is proposed, as an optional extension of the PMIPv6
specification.

RFC 8191 PMIPv6 HNP Renumbering August 2017
1. Introduction
At the time of writing, network managers prefer Provider-Independent
(PI) addressing for IPv6 to attempt to minimize the need for future
possible renumbering. However, a widespread use of PI addresses will
cause Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) scaling problems [RFC7010]. It
is thus desirable to develop tools and practices that make IPv6
renumbering a simpler process to reduce demand for IPv6 PI space
[RFC6879]. In this document, we aim to support HNP renumbering when
the HNP in PMIPv6 [RFC5213] is not a PI prefix.
1.1. Requirements Language
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
2. Usage Scenarios
There are a number of reasons why HNP renumbering support in PMIPv6
is useful, and some scenarios are identified below:
Scenario 1: the HNP set used by a PMIPv6 service provider is
