Technical Summary

This specification defines extensions to the Proxy Mobile IPv6
protocol for allowing a mobile access gateway to register more than
one proxy care-of-address with the local mobility anchor and to
simultaneously establish multiple IP tunnels with the local mobility
anchor. This capability allows the mobile access gateway to utilize
all the available access networks for routing mobile node's IP
traffic.

Working Group Summary

The document has been in a WG for a long time and gone through a bigger
change to be independent of specific deployment architecture. The solution
reached consensus in the working group.

Document Quality

There are commercial pre-standard implementations of the protocol.
The document has been reviewed thoroughly inside the WG.

Personnel

Jouni Korhonen is the document shepherd. Suresh Krishnan is the responsible AD.

RFC Editor Note

Please make this substitution replacing a lower case "should" with an upper case "SHOULD".

the LMA capability by sending PBU packets with multipath on only
one path first
