Hi Rajeev

I just had a quick look on your draft
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-koodli-flow-handover-00.txt.
It is great, and I also would appreciate you if you can review
my draft 
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-xia-netext-flow-binding-00.txt
which tried to solve the same problems.

Just I discussed with Gerardo in the mailing list
who I assume  is also working on 3GPP 23.861,
the motivation of flowing binding is to make full use of
precious air resource.  IMO, MAGs have more information
on the usage of air interface than LMA.

Thus, relating to your draft, my points are
1) In most case, MAGs initiate flow binding, which is
    consistent with MN's behavior in Mobile IPv6 flow binding.
2)T-MAG may be involved in flowing binding decision.
   S-MAG request offloading some traffic to T-MAG which
   has right to decide on it's own discretion.
3)Mostly your draft deal with downstreams redirection,
  while upstreams traffic treatment need more consideration.

Frank

My point is that when you move a flow (say belonging to HNP-1) from one 
interface to another (which has, say HNP-2), you can achieve flow mobility. 
In that sense you share HNP-1 across the two interfaces.
