Dynamic Inter Home Agent Protocol Prepared for 60th IETF By Benjamin Koh, Chan-Wah Ng, Jun Hirano 20040802 draft-koh-dihap-00.txt 60th IETF – NEMO WG
HA2 HA1 MN1 Overview - DIHAP • MN1 originally registered with HA1 • Tunnelled packets detected by affiliated HA2 en-route to HA1 • HA2 periodically updates HA1 of its availability • For as long as tunnelled packets from MN1->HA1 is detected • HA1 may choose to notify MN1 to switch home agents to HA2 instead. • MN1 registers with HA2 • Optionally expires binding with HA1 or allows expiry Internet 60th IETF – NEMO WG
Benefits - DIHAP • HA redundancy • HA load balancing • Multi-homed HA interface maintenance • Using the Home Interface List (HIL) • Multi-homed site maintenance • Using the HIL 60th IETF – NEMO WG
Issues - DIHAP • What happens to MN1’s home address (HoA)? (Question from Romain Kuntz NEMO ML) • Depends on the nature of the routing fabric of the future internet. • If affiliated home agents share the same prefix then the HoA of MN1 stays the same. • It is more likely that the geographically removed HA1 and HA2 would have differing prefixes necessitating a HoA change for MN1. • MNNs may keep their prefixes though. 60th IETF – NEMO WG
