 Mobile IPv6 Enabling Technologies:
• Improvement of Mobile IPv6 scalability
• Dynamic provisioning of configuration data on terminals and HAs
(Bootstrapping)

•Improvement of reliability
• Load-sharing across HAs
• Solutions for HA failover (no single point of failure)

• Control of mobility service

• Service authorization based on a AAA infrastructure

 Mobile IPv6 Enabling Technologies:
• Enable offering of “premium” network features
• On-demand and secure activation of fast handovers, QoS, etc.

• Integration of Mobile IPv6 in real-life environments

• Coexistence with middle-boxes (firewalls, VPN concentrators, etc.)
• Deployment of Mobile IPv6 in IPv4-only accesses

• Analysis of protocols and architectures for long-term network evolution

• Host Identity Protocol (HIP)
• IKEv2 Mobility and Multihoming (MOBIKE)
• Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6)

 Bootstrapping:
Goal
Addressing the operational requirement for dynamic provisioning of
configuration data on terminals and HAs and MIPv6 service authorization.
Configuration data
•HA address
•Required on MN
•Used for registering Binding Updates with HA
•MN‘s Home Address
•Required on MN
•Used for communication with other nodes
•Could change if home network will be renumbered
•Keying Material
•Required on MN and HA
•Used to set up a security association (IPsec) between MN and HA

 Conclusion:
Overview of components being developed to facilitate the efficient and
operational mobility in large heterogeneous IP networks
• EAP-based MIPv6 bootstrapping (with and with-out MIPv6 DHCPv6
extensions and DNS/IKEv2).

Overview of Search & Rescue scenes which provide specific application

case studies which we believe are flexible enough to support the
verification of the technical and business requirements of a Mobile IPv6
service environment.
