There have been several proposals to improve upon the Return
Routability procedure defined in MIPv6 (RFC 3775), both in terms of
the security of the mechanism as well as with respect to its
performance. In particular, discussions within the MOBOPTS Research
Group of the IRTF have centered on reducing the round trip times
required to complete the procedure, and on increasing the length of
time before the procedure needs to be run again. Some proposals are
mature enough that they will be taken over by MIPSHOP for
standardization.
The WG will be very proactive in seeking AD-coordinated security The MOBOPTS Research Group in the IRTF is chartered to work on
reviews of the drafts developed in the WG. optimizations related to Mobile IPv6 and IP handoffs among other
things. The MIPSHOP WG will take mature proposals from the MOBOPTS
group and standardize them in the IETF on a case-by-case basis. One
such proposal on improving the Mobile IPv6 Return Routability
procedure by reducing the round trip times required to complete the
procedure, and increasing the length of time before the procedure
needs to be run again, has already been taken up the MIPSHOP WG and
stadardized.
