Technical Summary

   This specification defines extensions to the Proxy Mobile IPv6
   protocol for allowing a mobile access gateway to register more than
   one proxy care-of-address with the local mobility anchor and to
   simultaneously establish multiple IP tunnels with the local mobility
   anchor.  This capability allows the mobile access gateway to utilize
   all the available access networks for routing mobile node's IP
   traffic.

Working Group Summary

   The document has been in a WG for a long time and gone through a bigger
   change to be independent of specific deployment architecture. The solution
   reached consensus in the working group.

Document Quality

   There are commercial pre-standard implementations of the protocol. 
   The document has been reviewed thoroughly inside the WG.

Personnel

   Jouni Korhonen is the document shepherd. Suresh Krishnan is the responsible AD.

one path first
