Mobile Multicast Sender Support in Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) Domains

Abstract

Multicast communication can be enabled in Proxy Mobile IPv6 domains via the Local Mobility Anchors by deploying MLD Proxy functions at Mobile Access Gateways, via a direct traffic distribution within an ISP's access network, or by selective route optimization schemes. This document describes the support of mobile multicast senders in Proxy Mobile IPv6 domains for all three scenarios. Mobile sources always remain agnostic of multicast mobility operations.
