Proxy Mobile IPv6 (RFC 5213) requires that all mobile access gatewaysuse a fixed link-local address and a fixed link-layer address on anyof their access links that they share with mobile nodes. Thisrequirement was intended to ensure that a mobile node does not detectany change with respect to its Layer 3 attachment, even after it roamsfrom one mobile access gateway to another. In the absence of anyreserved addresses for this use, coordination across vendors andmanual configuration of these addresses on all of the mobilityelements in a Proxy Mobile IPv6 domain are required. This documentattempts to simplify this operational requirement by making areservation for special addresses that can be used for this purpose.This document also updates RFC 5213. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
