Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) is a network based mobility management
protocol that enables IP mobility for a host without requiring its
participation in any mobility-related signaling.  PMIPv6 requires all
communications to go through the local mobility anchor.  As this can
be suboptimal, Localized Routing (LR) allows Mobile Nodes (MNs) attached to
the same or different Mobile Access Gateways (MAGs) to route traffic by
using localized forwarding or a direct tunnel between the gateways.
This document proposes initiation, utilization, and termination
mechanisms for localized routing between mobile access gateways
within a proxy mobile IPv6 domain.  It defines two new signaling
messages, Localized Routing Initiation (LRI) and Local Routing
Acknowledgment (LRA), that are used to realize this mechanism.
