Mobility related issues for the QoS NSLPdraft-cheng-mobility-issues-01.txthttp://www.psl.com.sg/draft-cheng-mobility-issues-01.txt Hong CHENG, Kim Hui LING IETF #59 – Seoul March 2004
Need for multiple flows management • Problem: Support for multiple flows reservation • Different multiple flows scenarios • Numerous sub flows for one application session • Multiple access interface for one network node (multi-homing) • Multiple flows during a mobile soft handover • Issues • Distinction between multiple flows reservation and single flow handover • Need to inform the network on the treatment of the old flow after a new flow setup
Solution for multiple flows management • MN indicates action on the old flow to the network • Old_Path_Action option in NSLP messages • No action • Teardown immediately • Gradual Teardown • Delayed Teardown with timer • Reduce resource reservation to zero • Usage of Old_Path_Action options • Present in the setup message of the new flow • Old path action is triggered after new flow establishment
Multiple flows in a mobile handover • Ping-pong type handover • Staggering movements between 2 access networks • Slow old path re-establishment
Multiple paths in a mobile handover • Solution • Reduce resource reservation in old path to zero • States and peer-peer association retained
Old path restoration • Accelerated old path restoration • No reverse path setup required • No peer-peer discovery required • No state setup required • RESERVE message for state modification • Crossover node responsibility • Maintain peer-peer message associations for multiple paths • Direct and send messages on the correct paths
