This section is dealing with standardisation issues. The following papers explain IETF drafts and relevant activities.

Filters for Mobile IPv4 Bindings (NOMADv4)

Full text of IETF Draft: draft-nomad-mobileip-filters-05.txt

Abstract

Filters for Mobile IPv4 bindings enables mobile nodes to associate one or more Filters with mobility bindings during registration. Flows that match a Filter will be processed as defined by the Filter. In this manner, it is possible for a mobile node to distribute flows or packets of a flow among its available points of attachment, or to request that such flows are dropped before reaching the mobile node.

Filters for Mobile IPv6 Bindings (NOMADv6)

Full text of IETF Draft: draft-nomadv6-mobileip-filters-02.txt

Abstract

Filters for Mobile IPv6 Bindings (NOMADv6) introduces a set of extensions for MIPv6 protocol that allows the intelligent use of multiple points of attachment simultaneously, on a mobile node. It specifies a set of rules (filters) that are transmitted to binding agents, who in turn use this information to determine whether and where to route flows associated with the mobile node. In this manner, it is possible for a mobile node to distribute flows or packets of a flow among its available points of attachment or to request that such flow is dropped before traversing the Internet fabric, with or without notification to their source. These extensions mirror a similar extension defined for Mobile IPv4 (NOMADv4) but has been extended to cater to the behavior of IPv6.

Filters for Mobile Ad hoc Networks (NOMADHOC)

Full text of IETF Draft: draft-nomadhoc-manet-filters-01.txt

Abstract

Filters for Mobile Ad hoc networks (NOMADHOC) introduces a set of extensions applicable to a range of ad hoc networking protocols that allow an ad hoc node to distribute its active flows across multiple routing paths. These extensions are based on the filter structure defined in NOMAD to enable a filtering behavior at the originator and the destination nodes.

Mobile IPv4 Flow Mobility Problem Statement

Full text of IETF Draft: draft-nomad-mip4-flow-mobility-pb-00.txt

Abstract

Internet capable mobile or portable devices are already a modern commodity while it is becoming all the more common that such devices are hosts to more then one wireless interface. The aim of this document is to show that a mobile user may make best use of this property by using multiple wireless interfaces in parallel. This would incline that the mobile user can distribute active flows across the available wireless interfaces and is able to seamlessly transfer them between the wireless interfaces in mid-session without interruption.
