[MEXT] Some questions on draft-sarikaya-mext-multicastdmm

Hello Behcet,

I'm currently updating draft-kuntz-dmm-summary and was considering including draft-sarikaya-mext-multicastdmm. However I have a few questions about your draft.

To me it seems that your proposal is not a DMM solution by itself but is built upon draft-kassi-mobileip-dmi. Am I right? Is the exact motivation of your proposal to support multicast on the mobile node when DMI is used?

About the solution itself:

* Section 3: 

  "MN starts to receive the packets over HA-MN link from
   CN and MN starts to send packets with a destination option containing
   the previous Care-of Address as MN's Home Address (HoA) to the CN."

I'm not sure why you are doing this? This sounds like route optimization to me.

* Section 6: 
 
  "Multicast state for the mobile node is usually established when
   mobile node was on the link and the state in Multicast State mobility
   option normally must match this state and the multicast state sent by
   the mobile node becomes the multicast state of the mobile node when
   communicating over MN-HA tunnel."

This sentence is quite hard to understand. Can you explain?


Thank you,
Romain
