Re: [netext] [Fwd: I-D Action: draft-ietf-netext-pmipv6-flowmob-09.txt]

Hi Carlos,

I briefly reviewed the updated draft and have a couple of comments.

o The messages named as FMI/FMA in this document are actually UPN/UPA, 
so the description is confusing since it looks as if new messages were 
defined. I would propose a new flag or notification reason/status code 
to indicate that UPN/UPA are used for flow mobility.

o In the previous version, FMI could convey the Flow ID mobility option, 
but the latest version can convey only HNPs. This looks like a 
degradation and I'm not sure how both LMA and MAG can share the same 
flow mobility cache.

o The flow mobility operation such as "add" or "remove" should be able 
to specify the targeted flow. To this end, the Flow ID mobility option 
in RFC6089 should be used. The flow binding action sub-option defined in 
RFC7109 can be used for the flow mobility operation.

Please take these points into consideration.

Regards,
