Route Optimization Scheme for Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6)

Abstract

This paper describes route optimization support for Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6). The protocol specified in the paper leverages route optimization procedures defined in Mobile IPv6 and extend the procedures in order to apply for PMIPv6. The protocol supports route optimization for both IPv6 mobile nodes and IPv4 mobile nodes. Route optimization over IPv4 transport network is also supported.
