Hello again

Please let me introduce to the BANANA group multi-access management system (MAMS) that we the authors believe can be very useful and a good reference point for the architecture and its control protocol.

Multi-access management system is an access agnostic overlay solution to select accesses, network paths and user plane treatment based on traffic types as signaled over the control plane protocol. Mobility management is left for the access or cellular network. Different traffic encapsulations can be used over different accesses. Both MPTCP as well as GRE among other can be supported.

In the following drafts you can find more about the architecture and the control plane details:
