Proposed Charter of NETLMM WG

1
Proposed Charter of NETLMM WG

• Phil Roberts
• Motorola Labs
• phil.roberts_at_motorola.com

2
Main Activities

• Develop a protocol
• configures a group of access routers and mobility
  anchors into an LMM domain
• handles mobile node entry and exit from the
  domain
• handles mobile node movement within the domain
• Support it with relevant documentation
• agreed upon problem statement
• agreed upon requirements and gap analysis
• a framework document to define problem space and
  limit scope of possible solution contexts
• the protocol itself
• Demonstrate it through simulation and
  implementation

Charter (and other) Issues on ML

• v6 only start here, but could be used for both,
  must carry v4 traffic
• zero or minimal host configuration perhaps the
  way to describe this is unmodified for the
  operation of LMM
• host routes vs. mobility anchor ( tunneling)
  host routes on intervening routers is an
  interesting research topic, for now we focus on
  tunneling
• inter-AR interface for handover optimization do
  this after the basic protocol is done
• control/bearer separation not specifically out
  of scope, but deferred at least until basic
  signalling is understood
• design team will be formed after WG is formed
