Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) Localized Routing Problem Statement
Abstract
Proxy Mobile IPv6 is the IETF Standard for network-based mobility
management. In Proxy Mobile IPv6, mobile nodes are topologically
anchored at a Local Mobility Anchor, which forwards all data for
registered mobile nodes. The setup and maintenance of localized
routing, which allows forwarding of data packets between two mobile
nodes' Mobility Access Gateways without involvement of their Local
Mobility Anchor in forwarding, is not considered. This document
describes the problem space of localized routing in Proxy Mobile
IPv6.

1. Introduction
The IETF has specified Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) [RFC5213] as the
base protocol for network-based localized mobility management
(NetLMM). The scope of the base protocol covers the setup and
maintenance of a tunnel between a Mobile Node's (MN's) Mobile Access
Gateway (MAG) and its selected Local Mobility Anchor (LMA). Data
packets will always traverse the MN's MAG and its LMA, irrespective
of the location of the MN's remote communication endpoint. Even
though an MN may be attached to the same MAG or a different MAG as
its Correspondent Node (CN) within the same provider domain, packets
being associated with their communication will traverse the MN's and
the CN's LMA, which can be located topologically far away from the
MN's and the CN's MAG or even in a separate provider domain.
Liebsch, et al. Informational [Page 2]
RFC 6279 PMIPv6 Localized Routing PS June 2011
[RFC5213] addresses the need to enable local routing of traffic
between two nodes being attached to the same MAG, but does not
specify the complete procedure to establish such localized routing
state on the shared MAG.
The NetLMM Extensions (NetExt) Working Group has an objective to
design a solution for localized routing in PMIPv6. This objective
includes the specification of protocol messages and associated
protocol operation between PMIPv6 components to support the setup of
a direct routing path for data packets between the MN's and the CN's
MAG, while both hosts receive mobility service according to the
PMIPv6 protocol [RFC5213]. As a result of localized routing, these
packets will be forwarded between the two associated MAGs without
traversing the MN's and the CN's LMA(s). In cases where one or both
nodes hand over to a different MAG, the localized routing protocol
maintains the localized routing path. Relevant protocol interfaces
may include the interface between associated MAGs, between a MAG and
an LMA, and between LMAs. The setup of localized routing with CNs
not registered with a PMIPv6 network is out of scope of the NetExt
solution and this problem statement.
This document analyzes and discusses the problem space of always
using the default route through two communicating mobile nodes' local
mobility anchors. Furthermore, the problem space of enabling
localized routing in PMIPv6 is analyzed and described, while
different communication and mobility scenarios are taken into
account. Based on the analysis, a list of key functional
requirements is provided, serving as input to the design of the
protocol solution.
2. Conventions and Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
This document uses the terminology of [RFC5213]. In addition, the
following terms are used in the context of this problem statement:
o Mobile Node (MN): Mobile Node without IP mobility support, which
is attached to a Mobile Access Gateway (MAG) and registered with a
Local Mobility Anchor (LMA) according to the PMIPv6 specification
[RFC5213].
Liebsch, et al. Informational [Page 3]
RFC 6279 PMIPv6 Localized Routing PS June 2011
o Correspondent Node (CN): Correspondent Node according to its
definition in [RFC3775] with or without IP mobility support. The
CN represents the communication peer of an MN that is attached to
a MAG and registered with an LMA according to the PMIPv6
specification.
o Localized Routing: Result of signaling to set up routing states on
relevant network entities to allow forwarding of data packets
between an MN and a CN, which are attached to MAGs sharing the
same provider domain, without intervention of the MN's LMA and the
CN's LMA in data forwarding.
o Localized Routing States: Information for localized routing on
relevant forwarding entities on the optimized data path between an
MN and a CN. Such information includes route entries and tunnel
endpoints and may include further information about the MN and the
CN, such as the communicating nodes' Mobile Node Identifier and
their assigned Home Network Prefix.
o Provider Domain: A network domain in which network components are
administered by a single authority, e.g., the mobile operator.
3. Problem Statement for Localized Routing in PMIPv6
3.1. General Observation
The Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) protocol [RFC3775] has built-in mechanisms
for direct communication between an MN and a CN. Mechanisms for
route optimization in MIPv6 cannot be directly applied in PMIPv6.
Following the paradigm of PMIPv6, MNs are not involved in mobility
signaling and hence cannot perform signaling to set up localized
routes. Instead, the solution for localized routing must consider
functions in the network to find out whether or not a localized route
is to be used and then control the setup and maintenance of localized
routing states accordingly without any assistance from the MN and the
CN. In the case of communication between two nodes attached to the
PMIPv6 network infrastructure and where each node is registered with
an LMA, data packets between these two nodes will always traverse the
responsible LMA(s). At least some deployments would benefit from
having such communication localized, rather than having packets
traverse the core network to the LMA(s). In the context of this
document, such localized communication comprises offloading traffic
from LMAs and establishing an optimized forwarding path between the
two communication endpoints.
Localized routing is understood in [RFC5213] as optimization of
traffic between an MN and a CN that are attached to an access link
connected to the same MAG. In such a case, the MAG forwards traffic
Liebsch, et al. Informational [Page 4]
RFC 6279 PMIPv6 Localized Routing PS June 2011
directly between the MN and the CN, assuming the MAG is enabled to
support this feature (setting of the EnableMAGLocalRouting flag on
the MAG) and the MN's LMA enforces this optimization. [RFC5213] does
not specify how an LMA can enforce optimization for such local
communication. Maintaining local forwarding between the MN and the
regular IPv6 CN gets more complex in the case where the MN performs a
handover to a different MAG. Such a use case is not considered in
the specification and is out of scope of this problem statement.
This document focuses on use cases where both nodes, the MN and the
CN, are within a PMIPv6 network and served by an LMA in a domain of
LMAs.
With localized routing, operators have the possibility of offloading
traffic from LMAs and from the core network. Establishment of a
direct path between the MN's and the CN's MAG can be beneficial for
the following reasons: First, by limiting the communication to the
access nodes, the data traffic traversing the MAG - LMA path
(network) can be reduced. This is significant, considering that the
transport network between the access and the core is often the
bottleneck in terms of costs and performance. Second, there may be
performance benefits for data flows between the MN and the CN in
terms of delay and packet loss, especially when the MN and the CN are
attached to the same MAG and the LMA is topologically far away from
that MAG. Even when the MN and the CN are attached to different
MAGs, there could be benefit in limiting the communication to the
access network only, rather than traversing the transport network to
the LMA. Furthermore, offloading traffic from the LMA by means of
localized routing can improve scalability of the LMA, as it
represents a bottleneck for traffic being forwarded by many MAGs.
3.2. Use Cases Analysis
This problem statement focuses on local communication between PMIPv6
managed nodes, which attach to MAGs sharing the same provider domain.
The following list analyzes different use cases, which consider the
existence of multiple LMAs. Figure 1 depicts a PMIPv6-based network
with two mobility anchors. According to [RFC5213], the MN moves in
the PMIPv6 domain being built by its LMA and MAG. The same applies
to the CN, which moves in the PMIPv6 domain built by the CN's LMA and
MAG. The analysis takes no assumption on whether the MN and the CN
share the same PMIPv6 domain or not.

Figure 1: Reference Architecture for Localized Routing in PMIPv6
All "A" use cases below assume that both the MN and the CN are
registered with an LMA according to the PMIPv6 protocol. Whereas
MAG1 is always considered as the MN's current Proxy Care-of Address,
the CN can be either connected to the same MAG or to a different MAG
or LMA as the MN. Accordingly, these topological differences are
denoted as follows:
A[number of MAGs][number of LMAs]
A11: The MN and the CN (CN1) connect to the same MAG (MAG1) and are
registered with the same LMA (LMA). The common MAG may forward
data packets between the MN and the CN directly without forwarding
any packet to the LMA. [RFC5213] addresses this use case, but
does not specify the complete procedure to establish such
localized routing state on the shared MAG.
A12: The MN and the CN (CN1) connect to the same MAG (MAG1) and are
registered with different LMAs (LMA1 and LMA2). The common MAG
may forward data packets between the MN and the CN directly
without forwarding any packet to the LMAs. Following the policy
of [RFC5213] and enforcement of the setup of a localized
forwarding path, potential problems exist in the case where LMA1
and LMA2 differ in their policy to control the MAG.
A21: The CN (CN2) connects to a different MAG (MAG2) than the MN
(MAG1), but the MN and the CN are registered with the same LMA
(LMA1). The result of localized routing should be the existence
Liebsch, et al. Informational [Page 6]
RFC 6279 PMIPv6 Localized Routing PS June 2011
of routing information at MAG1 and MAG2, which allows direct
forwarding of packets between the MN's MAG1 and the CN's MAG2. As
LMA1 is the common anchor for the MN and the CN and maintains
location information for both nodes, no major race condition and
instability in updating the states for localized routing is
expected.
A22: The CN (CN2) connects to a different MAG (MAG2) and a different
LMA (LMA2) than the MN (MAG1, LMA1). The result of localized
routing should be the existence of routing information at MAG1 and
MAG2, which allows direct forwarding of packets between the MN's
MAG1 and the CN's MAG2. As the location information of the CN and
the MN is maintained at different LMAs, both LMAs need to be
involved in the procedure to set up localized routing. In the
case of a handover of the MN and/or the CN to a different MAG,
non-synchronized control of updating the states for localized
routing may result in race conditions, superfluous signaling, and
packet loss.
The following list summarizes general problems with setting up and
maintaining localized routing between an MN and a CN. In the context
of this problem statement, the MN and the CN are always assumed to be
registered at an LMA according to the PMIPv6 protocol [RFC5213].
o MNs do not participate in mobility management and hence cannot
perform binding registration at a CN on their own. Rather,
entities in the network infrastructure must take over the role of
MNs to set up and maintain a direct route. Accordingly, a
solution for localized routing in PMIPv6 must specify protocol
operation between relevant network components, such as between a
MAG and an LMA, to enable localized routing for data traffic
without traversing the MN's and the CN's LMA(s).
o In the case where the MN and the CN are both registered with
different LMAs according to the PMIPv6 protocol, relevant
information for the setup of a localized routing path, such as the
current MAG of the MN and the CN, is distributed between these
LMAs. This may complicate the setup and stable maintenance of
states enabling localized routing.
o In the case where localized routing between an MN and a CN has
been successfully set up and both nodes move and attach to a new
access router simultaneously, signaling the new location and
maintenance of states for localized routing at relevant routers
may run into a race condition situation. This can happen in the
case where coordination of signaling for localized routing and
provisioning of relevant state information is distributed between
different network entities, e.g., different LMAs. In such a case,
Liebsch, et al. Informational [Page 7]
RFC 6279 PMIPv6 Localized Routing PS June 2011
as a result of the MN's handover, updated information about the
MN's location may arrive at the CN's previous MAG, while the CN
has already moved to a new MAG. The same applies to the other
direction, where the system may update the MN's previous MAG about
the CN's new location, while the MN has moved to a new MAG in the
meantime. The protocol solution must deal with such exceptional
handover cases efficiently to avoid or resolve such problems.
3.3. IPv4 Considerations
According to [RFC5844], the basic configuration requirements for
supporting IPv4 in PMIPv6 are that LMAs and MAGs are both IPv4 and
IPv6 enabled. Also, LMAs and MAGs must have a globally unique IPv6
address configured, irrespective of enabled support for IPv6 routing
between these components. This requirement should also apply to
configuration requirements of localized routing.
Additional issues emerge when localized routing is considered for
PMIPv6 with IPv4 support. These can be classified into two general
groups: issues with localized routing between an MN's and a CN's IPv4
Home Addresses, and transport plane issues. The following
subsections analyze these two groups.
3.3.1. Localized Routing for Communication between IPv4 Home Addresses
In the case where an LMA and a MAG hold a registration to support
IPv4 Home Address mobility for an MN, the MAG and the LMA must
support appropriate encapsulation of IPv4 packets. To enable
localized routing, the MN's MAG must encapsulate and forward routing
path optimized packets to the CN's MAG and needs to ensure that the
chosen encapsulation mode is supported by the correspondent MAG.
Incompatibility in a selected encapsulation mode causes failure in
setting up a localized route.
When localized routing is used for IPv4 traffic, the conceptual data
structures on associated MAGs must be augmented with appropriate
parameters for forwarding localized traffic. MAGs may need to
maintain a routing state for each MN-CN-pair and make routing
decisions for uplink traffic based on the packet's complete IPv4
source and destination address. Hence, conceptual data structures to
handle states for localized routes need to comprise this address
tuple for unique identification.
Liebsch, et al. Informational [Page 8]
RFC 6279 PMIPv6 Localized Routing PS June 2011
As a known constraint, IPv4 addresses of two nodes that hold
addresses from a private address space may overlap. To uniquely
identify both nodes, the IPv4 address of the MN and the CN must not
overlap. To cope with overlapping address spaces, the localized
routing solution could use additional mechanisms to tag and uniquely
identify the MN and the CN.
3.3.2. IPv4 Transport Network Considerations
The transport network between the LMA and the MAG may be based on
IPv6 or IPv4. Deployments may ensure that the same transport
mechanism (i.e., IPv6 or IPv4) is used for operational consistency.
Similar to the encapsulation requirement stated in the previous
section, the IP version used for localized routing is also assumed,
by configuration, to be consistent across all MAGs within the
associated provider domain. The design of optional mechanisms for
negotiating the IP version to use as well as the encapsulation mode
to use are outside the scope of the NetExt WG's solution for
localized routing.
4. Functional Requirements for Localized Routing
Several tasks need to be performed by the network infrastructure
components before relevant information for such direct communication
is discovered and associated states for localized routing can be set
up. The following list summarizes some key functions that need to be
performed by the PMIPv6-enabled network infrastructure to substitute
mobile nodes in setting up a direct route.
o Detection of the possibility to perform localized routing. This
function includes looking at a data packet's source and
destination address.
o Initiation of a procedure that sets up a localized routing path.
o Discovery of stateful entities (i.e., the LMA(s) and/or the
MAG(s)) that maintain and can provide relevant information needed
to set up a localized routing path. Such information may include
the routable address of an LMA or MAG, where one or both mobile
nodes are connected to and registered with that LMA or MAG.
o Control in setting up and maintaining (e.g., during handover) the
localized routing path. Control is also needed to terminate the
use of a localized routing path and to delete associated states,
whereas a trigger for the termination may come from a non-PMIPv6-
related component.
Liebsch, et al. Informational [Page 9]
RFC 6279 PMIPv6 Localized Routing PS June 2011
o Enforcement of administrative policy rules to localized routing.
Such policies allow operators to have further control of the setup
of a localized route and enable the possibility to disallow
localized routing, for example, to ensure that traffic traverses
charging-related functions on the LMA. Explicit authorization of
localized routing is, for example, discussed in [PMIP6-LR]. As a
further example, mobile-node- and operator-specific policy rules
can be established on PMIPv6 components during PMIPv6
bootstrapping according to [RFC5779].
5. Roaming Considerations
Figure 2 shows PMIPv6 roaming cases where PMIPv6 components (e.g.,
LMAs, MAGs) tied by the MN and the CN may be distributed between
different provider domains (i.e., domain A, B, C) and the MN and/or
CN moves from one provider domain to another one. In order to
support localized routing when roaming occurs, it is required that
MAGs to which the MN and CN connect be within the same provider
domain, and each MAG has a security relationship with the
corresponding LMA, which maintains the registration of the MN or the
CN, respectively.
According to the roaming model as depicted in Figure 2, the MN's
PMIPv6 domain is characterized by its MAG (MAG1/MAG1') and its LMA
(LMA1), whereas the CN's PMIPv6 domain is characterized by the CN's
MAG (MAG2/MAG2') and its LMA (LMA2/LMA2'). A solution for localized
routing cannot take any assumption about whether or not the MN and CN
share the same PMIPv6 domain; hence, MAG1/MAG1' may not share a
security association with LMA2/LMA2', and MAG2/MAG2' may not share a
security association with LMA1, respectively.
It is not required that LMAs, which hold the registration for the MN
and the CN, respectively, be part of the same provider domain as the
MAGs where the MN and CN attach. When the MN's MAG and LMA belong to
different provider domains (A and C), localized routing is subject to
policy governing the service level agreements between these domains.
The same applies to the provider domains that provide the CN's MAG
and LMA. Based on the above requirements, four PMIPv6 roaming and
non-roaming cases can be taken into account.
o Case 1: The MN's MAG (MAG1), the CN's MAG (MAG2), the MN's LMA
(LMA1), and the CN's LMA (LMA2) are located in the same provider
domain A.
o Case 2: The MN's MAG (MAG1), the CN's MAG (MAG2), and the MN's LMA
(LMA1) are located in the same domain A, while the CN's LMA
(LMA2') is located in provider domain B.
Liebsch, et al. Informational [Page 10]
RFC 6279 PMIPv6 Localized Routing PS June 2011
o Case 3: The MN's MAG (MAG1') and the CN's MAG (MAG2') are located
in domain C, while the MN's LMA (LMA1) and the CN's LMA (LMA2) are
located in provider domain A.
o Case 4: The MN's MAG (MAG1') and the CN's MAG (MAG2') are located
in provider domain C, while the MN's LMA (LMA1) is located in
provider domain A and the CN's LMA (LMA2') is located in provider
domain B.
In these roaming cases, the MN can be allowed to roam within its
domain (e.g., the MN's home domain in which the MN's LMA is located)
or over different domains (e.g., the MN moves from its home domain to
a visited domain). During mobility, the CN and MN should remain
attached to MAGs of the same provider domain to maintain efficient
routing of traffic between their MAGs.

6. Security Considerations
A protocol solution for localized routing in a PMIPv6 network must
counter unauthorized change of a routing path. In particular, the
control plane for localized routing must preclude the blocking or
hijacking of mobile nodes' traffic by malicious or compromised
network components. A security solution must support suitable
mechanisms for authentication of control plane components of the
localized routing functional architecture for both roaming and
Liebsch, et al. Informational [Page 11]
RFC 6279 PMIPv6 Localized Routing PS June 2011
non-roaming scenarios. Any possibility for Internet hosts to
interfere with the localized routing procedure in a malicious manner
must be precluded.
Since network entities other than MNs and CNs perform signaling to
set up localized routing, the MIPv6 return routability test [RFC3775]
is not suitable to authenticate associated signaling messages in
PMIPv6. Solutions for localized routing in PMIPv6 need to mitigate,
or to provide sufficient defense against, possible security threats.
When PMIPv6 participants are administered within the same domain,
infrastructure-based authorization mechanisms, such as IPsec, may be
usable to protect signaling for localized routing.
Existing security associations according to [RFC5213] can be re-used
to protect signaling for localized routing on the interface between a
MAG and an LMA. In the case where a protocol solution for localized
routing in PMIPv6 relies on protocol operation between MAGs, means
for protection of signaling between these MAGs must be provided. The
same applies for signaling on a possible protocol interface between
two LMAs of the same domain.
