Few quick comments. I would remove all explicit references to 3GPP and existing offload mechanisms therein. FWIW this WG is not supposed to be a stub of SA2. The possible (protocol) enhancement must be generic enough to be applicable outside of a specific deployment architecture.
I agree 100%. I use 3GPP as an example. However, it is a likely bet that a huge fraction of the mobile devices in the future will implement wireless connectivity specified by 3GPP and depend upon network backhaul specified by 3GPP, so it is pretty relevant to consider the design needs specifically of 3GPP -- if nothing else, then at least as a reality check.
Also, I think we ought not only consider just mobility enhancement. More efficient use of CoA(s) for direct/local/non-tunneled communication along with existing mobility solutions should be in scope as well.
Again, agree 100%. However, we might eventually determine that the methods for efficient use of CoA(s) are somewhat different than the methods for enabling IP address continuity and smooth handover. I wonder whether the two different technologies would even belong in the same working group. Before enabling a mechanism to select a CoA, we need some way for classifying the "characteristics" of an IP address as bound to a specific radio interface and Internet PoA. To me, it's not at all obvious that such a problem is "like" the other problems of interest within the Internet Area.
