Multicast Mobility in Mobile IP Version 6 (MIPv6): Problem Statement and Brief Survey

Base Deployment for Multicast Listener Support in Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) Domains

“…In such simultaneous access scenarios, it can autonomously assign multicast channel subscriptions to individual interfaces (see [RFC5757] for additional details). While doing so, multicast mobility operations described in this document will transparently preserve the association of channels to interfaces in the following way.…”

“…Common to these solutions is that mobility management is covered by the dynamics of multicast routing, as initially foreseen in the Remote Subscription approach, i.e., join via a local multicast router as sketched in [RFC3775]. Care must be taken to avoid avalanche problems or service disruptions due to tardy multicast routing operations and to adapt to different link-layer technologies [RFC5757]. The different possible approaches should be carefully investigated beyond the initial sketch in Appendix C. Such work is beyond the scope of this document.…”

“…In this scenario, mobile nodes remain agnostic of multicast mobility operations. This document does not address specific optimizations and efficiency improvements of multicast routing for network-based mobility discussed in [RFC5757], as such solutions would require changes to the base PMIPv6 protocol [RFC5213]. Support for mobile multicast senders is also outside the scope of this document.…”

OASIS: An Overlay Abstraction for Re-architecting Large Scale Internet Group Services

“…A strong tendency can be observed to run infotainment group applications on mobile devices. The need consequently arises for a multicast mobility management, which in general turned out to be a complex problem [22]. The prefix-directed multicast leads to a mobility-agnostic routing environment in the sense that senders can seamlessly transmit multicast data from any location, while listeners may need to activate prefix branches for distribution, which are in network proximity for regional moves.…”

Packet Loss and Packet Delivery Evaluation Using Network Simulator for Multicast Enabled Network Mobility Management

“…75% of the global mobile traffic will be video and 66% of devices will be connecting to IPv6 mobile network. In recent years, there are huge interest in mobile multicast IP development, nevertheless, until now there is no typical standard [4][5]. This paper presents an improvement in term of packet loss and packet delivery in order to provide high context delivery in multicast enabled network mobility management.…”
