Hi all,
this is a clarification on the
draft-schmidt-multimob-fmipv6-pfmipv6-multicast:
There has been again the erroneous "rumor" that this draft would impose
changes to the MN on the PMIP domain.
As discussed many times:
This draft defines multicast extensions jointly used for the unicast
protocols *PFMIPv6* and *FMIPv6*. For FMIPv6, there are multicast
extensions of the MN, which is of no harm. FMIPv6 describes a
client-initiated handover.
As far as *PFMIPv6* is concerned, no changes to the MN are made for
multicast operations. This can be easily seen from figures 4 & 5.
Multicast extensions are simply an exchange of context records between
MAGs, i.e., "Multicast MobOpt".
So the repeated claim of "changes to PMIP MN" has never been true - it
simply was malicious gossip!
Cheers,
Thomas
