The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Flow Bindings in Mobile IPv6 and NEMO Basic Support' <draft-ietf-mext-flow-binding-10.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Mobility EXTensions for IPv6 Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Jari Arkko and Ralph Droms. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mext-flow-binding/ Technical Summary This document introduces extensions to Mobile IPv6 that allow nodes to bind one or more flows to a care-of address. These extensions allow multihomed nodes to instruct home agents and other Mobile IPv6 entities to direct inbound flows to specific addresses. Working Group Summary The document has been discussed in depth in the WG. The WG feels that this is an important document and should be published. The main controversy was whether there should be one or more traffic selector format defined. The current spec. supports multiple formats, but only one is being defined at this point. This is issue is related to this document, but not specific to this document, as i stated before, this spec supports multiple formats. Document Quality There is at least on ongoing effort for implementing this specification. There were many reviewers of the document, but especial in depth reviews were provided by Dave Craig, Benjamin Lim, Sundararajan Jay Kumar, Raj Patil, Conny Larson, Yuri Ismailov. Personnel Document Shepherd is Marcelo Braun and the responsible Area Director is Jari Arkko.
