Internet-Draft Roaming Mechanism between PMIPv6 Domains July 2008
Abstract
Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) is designed to provide mobility service to
mobile nodes in the network domain which does not require the mobile
nodes to be involved in IP mobility management. In other words, the
PMIPv6 can transparently support roaming within a PMIPv6 domain, i.e.
intra-domain roaming, to mobile nodes. However, if the mobile nodes
move to other PMIPv6 domains, the nodes should have additional
protocols for the inter-domain roaming although the domains also
provide the transparent mobility. Hence, an inter-domain roaming
solution would be needed for providing transparent mobility to mobile
nodes that only move around among PMIPv6 domains. This document
specifies the inter-domain roaming controlled by the networks
adopting the PMIPv6.

Internet-Draft Roaming Mechanism between PMIPv6 Domains July 2008
1. Introduction
PMIPv6 [I-D.ietf-netlmm-proxymip6] is a network-based mobility
management protocol that does not require mobile nodes to be involved
in mobility management. In a PMIPv6 domain, a Mobile Access Gateway
(MAG) performs signaling with a Local Mobility Anchor (LMA) for
mobility management on behalf of mobile nodes attached to the MAG.
The LMA functions as the home agent for the mobile nodes in the
PMIPv6 domain. If a mobile node moves and changes its point of
attachment from one MAG to the other, it can still continue to use
the same address configuration by the signaling between the MAGs and
the LMA of the node [I-D.ietf-netlmm-proxymip6]. In other words,
PMIPv6 can only support roaming within a PMIPv6 domain transparent to
mobile nodes without mobility functionality.
Next-generation wireless networks, such as 802.16e [IEEE802.16e] and
Super 3G/3.9G [3GPP], have the potential to run IP deeper into the
access network than the current 3G cellular networks, similar to
today's WLAN networks [RFC4830]. It means such various and
heterogeneous access networks would be routed IP networks. Also, the
access networks would provide IP mobility by PMIPv6 since the access
networks try to adopting PMIPv6 protocol as local mobility management
solution specified in [3GPP] [WiMAX]. This development might lead to
frequent roaming of mobile nodes within a PMIPv6 domain, i.e. intra-
domain roaming, and between PMIPv6 domains, i.e. inter-domain
roaming.
Existing inter-domain roaming solution described in
[I-D.giaretta-netlmm-mip-interactions] considers interworking between
PMIPv6 and MIPv6 [RFC3775]. It means that a mobile node should have
MIPv6 and be involved in mobility management via the MIPv6 if the
mobile node in a PMIPv6 domain moves into another PMIPv6 domain.
However, such involvement of mobile nodes causes several considerable
and ironical problems as follows.
o If a mobile node involves MIPv6 protocol stack, the mobile node
suffers update latency, signaling overhead, and location privacy
problems described in [RFC4830] although the node is located in
the domain adopting PMIPv6 proposed to solve such problems.
o If a mobile node involves MIPv6 protocol stack, the visited PMIPv6
domain can not provide transparency to the mobile node though the
domain also support transparent mobility to the mobile node in
network-based management manner.
o If a mobile node that do not have MIPv6 protocol stack, the
visited PMIPv6 domain can not provide seamless IP mobility to the
mobile node although the domain also offers mobility management

service.
This document specifies roaming mechanism between PMIPv6 domains to
provide transparent and seamless inter-domain mobility to mobile
nodes. In this solution, LMAs and MAGs in two domains perform
exchange of signaling messages to mobility management on behalf of
mobile nodes. The signaling is performed to re-establish bi-
directional tunnels for data flow and emulate home link of each
mobile node. Thus, the mobile node can maintain session continuity
via a global unicast IPv6 address organized in home PMIPv6 domain if
the mobile nodes move into visited PMIPv6 domain. Namely, inter-
domain roaming of the mobile nodes can be supported transparently in
network-based manner like intra-domain roaming.

2. 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 RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
This document uses the terminology defined in [RFC3775],
[I-D.ietf-netlmm-proxymip6]. All user authentication and prefix
allocation related terms are defined in [RFC2865], [RFC3588],
[RFC4818].
o Home PMIPv6 Domain - This refers to the network where a mobile
node registered to be provided the network-based mobility
management service and the mobility management of the mobile node
is handled using the Proxy Mobile IPv6 protocol.
o Visit PMIPv6 Domain - This refers to any PMIPv6 network other than
Home PMIPv6 Domain of a mobile node, to which the mobile node is
currently connected. Through a contact among PMIPv6 domains, it
provides the networks-based mobility management service to mobile
nodes of other PMIPv6 domains when they enter in it.
o Intra-Domain Roaming - This means that a mobile node is provided
network-based mobility management support, without requiring the
participation of it in any mobility related signaling when the
mobile node moves between MAGs within a PMIPv6 domain.
o Inter-Domain Roaming - This means that a mobile node is provided
network-based mobility management support, without requiring the
participation of the mobile node in any mobility related signaling
when the mobile node moves into other PMIPv6 domains.
o LMAh - This is the Local Mobility Anchor for a mobile node in the
Home PMIPv6 domain. It is the topological anchor point for the
mobile node's home network prefix and manages the mobile node's
binding state. It has the functional capabilities of a Local
Mobility Anchor as defined in Proxy Mobile IPv6 base specification
[I-D.ietf-netlmm-proxymip6] with the additional capabilities
required for supporting the inter-domain roaming as defined in
this specification.
o LMAv - This is a Local Mobility Anchor in the Visit PMIPv6 Domain
to which a mobile node visits. To support the network-based
mobility management service to the mobile node, it establishes a
bi-directional tunnel with the LMAh in the Home PMIPv6 Domain of
the mobile node and delivers data on behalf of the mobile node
through the tunnel.

3. Inter-Domain Roaming Overview
This specification describes a network-based roaming mechanism
between Proxy Mobile IPv6 domains. It is called Inter-Domain Roaming
and based on Proxy Mobile IPv6[I-D.ietf-netlmm-proxymip6].
Inter-Domain Roaming mechanism is intended for providing network-
based mobility management support to a mobile node, without requiring
the participation of the mobile node in any mobility related
signaling when the mobile node moves an access network in other proxy
domains.
The core functional entity in the Inter-Domain Roaming is the Local
Mobility Anchor (LMA). The LMA is defined as Visited LMA(LMAv) and
home LMA(LMAh) for inter-proxy domain roaming. LMAv is a local
mobility anchor in visited proxy domain and LMAh is a local mobility
anchor in home proxy domain. The local mobility anchor is
responsible for rechability of the mobile node and is the topological
anchor point for home network prefix of the mobile node.
3.1. Scenarios
Figure 1 shows a circumstance of the roaming between PMIPv6 domains.
A MN receives its home network prefix in a PMIPv6 home domain and
configures its address, MN-HoA. The MN sends and receives data by
using the HoA during moving in the home domain. Even though the MN
moves into a PMIPv6 visit domain, the MN sends and receives data
without cutoff of the session by using the MN-HoA, as the MN resides
in the domain that PMIPv6 service is possible.

3.2. Assumptions
To support roaming between PMIPv6 domains, the proposed protocol
makes the following assumptions:
o Through a contact among PMIPv6 domains, LMAs and MAGs can request
authentication about hosts of other domains as well as hosts of
its domain, to AAA.
o EAP and AAA protocols, RADIUS [RFC2865] or Diameter [RFC3588], can
be used for user authentication and prefix allocation as defined
in [RFC4818].
o A Network Access Identifier (NAI) of a MN, i.e. MN-ID, used for
user authentication and prefix allocation might be a e-mail

address, etc.
o Concatenated tunnels could be established to support inter-domain
roaming.

4. Roaming Mechanism Operations
4.1. Control Plan Flow
To support inter-domain roaming through the proposed mechanism, the
signalings due to movement of a MN follows figure 2. The MN within a
home domain requests authentication to the MAGh through its NAI.
This authentication is initiated through L2 access. The MAGh
requests authentication with regard to the MN' ID (foo@home) to AAAh.
If the MN is authenticated as an authorized host, the AAAh delivers
an LMAh address of the MN to the MAGh. The MAGh sends Proxy Binding
Update (PBU) message with its address, Proxy-CoAh, and the MN address
to the LMAh. The LMAh registers the MAGh address in regard to the MN
and sends Proxy Binding Acknowledgement (PBA) message including a
Home Network Prefix of the MN to the MAGh. If the MAGh receives the
PBA message, it is established a bi-directional tunnel between the
LMAh and MAGh, for data from or to the MN. The MAGh registers the
home network prefix of the MN and sends Router Advertisement (RA)
message including the home network prefix to the MN. The MN on
receiving this RA message has a valid address (MN-HoA) through
configuring its interface with its home network prefix. The MN sends
and receives data through the tunnel using the MN-HoA.
If the MN moves to the visit domain, it cannot communicate with the
home domain. Then, the MN again requests an authentication to an
MAGv through L2 access. The MAGv on receiving the authentication
request of the MN requests authentication to an AAAv. Because the
AAAv knows that the MN is a host of the home domain, it again
requests authentication to the AAAh. The AAAh sends LMAh address to
AAAv after the authentication in regard to the MN. The AAAv sends
LMAv address in regard to the MN and LMAh address sent from the AAAh,
to the MAGv. The MAGv sends a PBU message including its address, the
MN' ID, and LMAh address, to the LMAv. The LMAv registers MAGv
address in regard to the MN and sends a PBU message including its
address and the MN' ID to the LMAh. The LMAh removes the previous
tunnel in regard to the MN and re-establishes new tunnel in regard to
the MN to LMAv. The LMAh also sends a PBA message including the home
network prefix of the MN to the LMAv. The LMAv registers the
received home network prefix and sends a PBA message including the
prefix to the MAGv. So, to support inter-domain roaming of the MN,
concatenated tunnels from LMAh to LMAv and from LMAv to MAGv is
established by exchanging the PBU and PBA messages. The MAGv
registers the home network prefix of the MN and sends RA messages to
the MN. Therefore, the MN believes it is still on the home domain,
and sends and receives continuously data.

4.2. Data Plan Flow
Figure 3 shows data flow between an NM and a CN. The data flow
consists of a bi-directional tunnel between an MAGv and an LMAv and a
bi-directional tunnel between the LMAv and an LMAh. When the CN
sends data to the MN, it includes its address and the MN address HoA
in IP header of data packet. The LMAh on receiving the packet from
the CN sends the packet encapsulating its address and LMAv address to
the LMAv. The LMAv decapsulates the packet and sends the packet
encapsulating its address and the MAGv address to the MAGv. The MAGv
decapsulates the packet to the original packet from the CN and sends
the original packet to the MN.

This document is based on the security requirements listed in
[I-D.ietf-netlmm-proxymip6]. The inter domain roaming requires the
signaling message, Proxy Binding Updates and Proxy Binding
Acknowledgement, exchanged between the visited local mobility anchor
and home local mobility anchor to be protected using IPsec, using the
