Re: Load Balancing for Mobile IP



Coming back to the WG with a question from this morning. We looked at the Load Balancing draft and our initial reaction was to ask Mobile IP to look at it. Mobile IP (Marcelo) is saying that they can look at the issue if there is a requirement, but they cannot determine whether there is a requirement.

ISPs on the list - is this kind of issue a requirement for you?

I can see that the particular solution doesn't belong to v6ops, but whether the question whether problem is real or not does seem to belong to v6ops, right? I mean, certainly mext cannot have a position on whether we need a load balancing mechanism for servers. We can certianly work on adapting MIP6 to support this, and whether a MIP6 solution is feasible and reaosnable, but i don't think we can detemrine if this work needs to be done

The feedback in v6ops was as I stated. They thought this discussion belonged in your working group.

Hi Fred,

quickly checked the draft, and my first thoughts are:
- seems only to deal with mip6 and not mip4, so i guess the mip4 guys could be off the hook, if they want to
- seems to fall somewhere between 6man, mext and v6ops...

I think the first question is whether we need this or not. I think this input should come from ops, so that would be you :-)

The CNNIC authors are looking at it from the perspective of Chinese telecom requirements. I'll let them tell me I'm wrong, but I presume they think this is important for their part of the world at minimum.


so, what was the feedback in v6ops?
i mean, was any other people other than the authors that thought this was needed?




If you guys decide we need soemthing on these lines, we can then figure out if we do it in mext or in 6man, or both of them, jointly.

I think one of those makes more sense than v6ops.

sounds reasonable?

Regards, marcelo

"Load Balancing based on IPv6 Anycast and pseudo-Mobility", Wanming Luo,
XiaoDong Lee, Wei Mao, Mei Wang, 3-Nov-08,
<draft-luo-v6ops-6man-shim6-lbam-00.txt>

to your attention. We discussed it briefly this morning in v6ops, as it is intended as a load-sharing solution. The sense of the room was that it either belonged in Mobile IP, or that we need to work together with Mobile IP on it.

How would you recommend proceeding?
