new I-D on HA filtering

Hi all,

We just submitted a new I-D on Home Agent Filtering for Mobile IPv6, 
available at

http://www-r2.u-strasbg.fr/~montavont/draft-montavont-mobileip-ha-filtering-v6-00.txt

It will be soon available in the IETF repertories.

This I-D proposes a solution for the MN to set filters on its home 
agent. Filters can be used to spread flows on different CoAs (and 
potentially several network interfaces), and to forbid the redirection 
of certain flows from the home agent.

Here is the abstract:

Mobile IPv6 allows a MN to receive incoming packets to its home address 
while it is away from its home network. In a heterogeneous environment, 
a MN may have multiple interfaces, each with different characteristics. 
While a MN is in a visited network, due to the performance of the 
interfaces or to the user preferences, the MN may want to forbid the 
redirection from its home agent of a kind of flow, or to indicate a 
target CoA for a kind of flow.
In this draft, we propose new mobility options that allow a MN to 
advertise filters to its home agent. A filter is associated with a CoA, 
in such a way that the MN can register several CoA and can register 
several filters for one CoA. A filter may indicate that a flow which map 
to a filter must be dropped or must be redirected to the indicated CoA.

Nicolas
