    It seems there is more interest in network mobility?

⇨ Only on paper. There is no real use of either MIP or PMIP in the real world. There were lots of “IETF interest” in network-based solutions because that’s what 3GPP wants, but it’s not actually true because it’s not deployed. Both PMIP and DSMIP are referenced in 3GPP specs for different use cases but I doubt anyone deployed either.
