Proxy Mobile IPv6

TLDR

Network-based mobility management enables IP mobility for a host without requiring its participation in any mobility-related signaling, with the network responsible for managing IP mobility on behalf of the host and tracking movements to initiate required mobility signaling. This specification aims to define a network-based mobility management protocol. The protocol, Proxy Mobile IPv6, implements this network-based mobility management. Standards track: Proxy Mobile IPv6.

Abstract

Network-based mobility management enables IP mobility for a host without requiring its participation in any mobility-related signaling. The network is responsible for managing IP mobility on behalf of the host. The mobility entities in the network are responsible for tracking the movements of the host and initiating the required mobility signaling on its behalf. This specification describes a network-based mobility management protocol and is referred to as Proxy Mobile IPv6. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
