continuity and/or IP address reachability. The network providing the
same type of service to any mobile host and any application running on
the host yields inefficiencies, as described in RFC 7333.
This document defines a new concept of enabling applications to influence the
network's mobility services (session continuity and/or IP address reachability)
on a per-socket basis, and suggests extensions to the networking stack's API
to accommodate this concept.

<p id="section-abstract-1">Applications differ with respect to whether they need session
continuity and/or IP address reachability. The network providing the
same type of service to any mobile host and any application running on
the host yields inefficiencies, as described in RFC 7333.
This document defines a new concept of enabling applications to influence the
network's mobility services (session continuity and/or IP address reachability)
on a per-socket basis, and suggests extensions to the networking stack's API
to accommodate this concept.<a href="#section-abstract-1" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>

the following two attributes are defined for IP service provided to
mobile hosts:<a href="#section-1-1" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<dl class="dlNewline" id="section-1-2">
<dt id="section-1-2.1">Session Continuity</dt>
<dd id="section-1-2.2">The ability to maintain an ongoing transport interaction
by keeping the same local endpoint IP address throughout the lifetime of the IP
socket despite the mobile host changing its point of attachment within the IP
network topology. The IP address of the host may change after closing the IP socket
and before opening a new one, but that does not jeopardize the ability of applications
using these IP sockets to work flawlessly. Session continuity is essential for mobile
hosts to maintain ongoing flows without any interruption.<a href="#section-1-2.2" class="pilcrow">¶</a>
</dd>
<dt id="section-1-2.3">IP Address Reachability</dt>
<dd id="section-1-2.4">The ability to maintain the same IP address
for an extended period of time. The IP address stays the same across
independent sessions, even in the absence of any session. The
IP address may be published in a long-term registry (e.g., DNS) and
is made available for serving incoming (e.g., TCP) connections. IP
address reachability is essential for mobile hosts to use
specific/published IP addresses.<a href="#section-1-2.4" class="pilcrow">¶</a>
</dd>
</dl>
<p id="section-1-3">Mobile IP is designed to provide both session continuity and IP
address reachability to mobile hosts. Architectures using these
protocols (e.g., 3GPP, 3GPP2, WiMAX) ensure that any mobile host
attached to a compliant network can enjoy these benefits. Any
application running on these mobile hosts is subjected to the same
treatment with respect to session continuity and IP address
reachability.<a href="#section-1-3" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-1-4">Achieving session continuity and IP address reachability with
Mobile IP incurs some cost. Mobile IP forces the mobile host's
IP traffic to traverse a centrally located router (Home Agent, HA),
which incurs additional transmission latency and use of additional
network resources, adds to the network's operating and capital expenditures, and decreases the
reliability of the network due to the introduction of a single point of
failure <span>[<a href="#RFC7333" class="xref">RFC7333</a>]</span>. Therefore, session continuity
and IP address reachability <span class="bcp14">SHOULD</span> be provided only when necessary.<a href="#section-1-4" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-1-5">In reality, not every application may need
these benefits. IP address reachability is required for applications
running as servers (e.g., a web server running on the mobile host), but
a typical client application (e.g., web browser) does not necessarily
require IP address reachability. Similarly, session continuity is not
required for all types of applications either. Applications performing
brief communication (e.g., text messaging) can survive without having session
continuity support.<a href="#section-1-5" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-1-6">Furthermore, when an application needs session continuity, it may be
able to satisfy that need by using a solution above the IP layer, such
as Multipath TCP <span>[<a href="#RFC6824" class="xref">RFC6824</a>]</span>, SIP mobility <span>[<a href="#RFC3261" class="xref">RFC3261</a>]</span>, or an application-layer mobility solution. These
higher-layer solutions are not subject to the same issues that arise
with the use of Mobile IP since they can use the most direct data
path between the endpoints. But, if Mobile IP is being applied to the
mobile host, the higher-layer protocols are rendered useless because
their operation is inhibited by Mobile IP. Since Mobile IP ensures
that the IP address of the mobile host remains fixed (despite the location
and movement of the mobile host), the higher-layer protocols never
detect the IP-layer change and never engage in mobility management.<a href="#section-1-6" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-1-7">This document proposes a solution for applications running on
mobile hosts to indicate when establishing the network connection ('on
demand') whether they need session continuity or IP
address reachability. The network protocol stack on the mobile host, in
conjunction with the network infrastructure, provides the required
type of service. It is for the benefit of both the users and the
network operators not to engage an extra level of service unless it is
absolutely necessary. It is expected that applications and networks
compliant with this specification will utilize this solution to use
network resources more efficiently.<a href="#section-1-7" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>

Different parts of the same application may have different needs. For
example, the control plane of an application may require a Fixed IP

<p id="section-3.4-1">At any point in time, a mobile host may have a combination of IP
addresses configured. Zero or more Fixed, zero or more Session-Lasting,
zero or more Nonpersistent, and zero or more Graceful-Replacement
IP addresses may be configured by the IP stack of the host. The
combination may be a result of the host policy, application demand,
or a mix of the two.<a href="#section-3.4-1" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-3.4-2">When an application requires a specific type of IP address, and such
an address is not already configured on the host, the IP stack <span class="bcp14">SHALL</span>
attempt to configure one. For example, a host may not always have a
Session-Lasting IP address available. When an application requests
one, the IP stack <span class="bcp14">SHALL</span> make an attempt to configure one by issuing a
request to the network. If the operation fails, the IP stack <span class="bcp14">SHALL</span>
fail the associated socket request and return an error. If successful,
a Session-Lasting IP address is configured on the mobile host. If
another socket requests a Session-Lasting IP address at a later time,
the same IP address may be served to that socket as well. When the last
socket using the same configured IP address is closed, the IP address
may be released, or it may be kept for applications requiring a Session-Lasting
IP address that may be launched in the future.<a href="#section-3.4-2" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-3.4-3">In some cases, it might be preferable for the mobile host to request
a new Session-Lasting IP address for a new opening of an IP socket
(even though one was already assigned to the mobile host by the
network and might be in use in a different, already active IP
socket). It is outside the scope of this specification to define
criteria for choosing to use available addresses or choosing to request
new ones. It supports both alternatives (and any combination).<a href="#section-3.4-3" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>

</h2>
<p id="section-5-1"> The different service types (session continuity types and address reachability) associated
with the allocated IP address types may be associated with different costs: the cost
to the operator for enabling a type of service, and the cost to applications using a
selected service. A malicious application may use these to indirectly
generate extra billing of a mobile subscriber, and/or impose costly
services on the mobile operator. When expensive
services are limited, malicious applications may exhaust them, preventing other
applications on the same mobile host from being able to use them.<a href="#section-5-1" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-5-2"> Mobile hosts that enable such service options should provide capabilities for
ensuring that only authorized applications can use the expensive (or limited) service
types.<a href="#section-5-2" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-5-3"> The ability to select service types requires the exchange of the association of
source IP prefixes and their corresponding service types, between the mobile host and
mobile network. Exposing these associations may provide information to passive
attackers even if the traffic that is used with these addresses is encrypted.<a href="#section-5-3" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-5-4">To avoid profiling an application according to the type of IP address,
it is expected that prefixes provided by the mobile operator are associated with
various types of addresses over time. As a result, the type of address
cannot be associated with the prefix, making application profiling based on the
type of address more difficult.<a href="#section-5-4" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-5-5">The application or the OS should ensure that IP addresses regularly change
to limit IP tracking by a passive observer. The application should regularly
set the On-Demand flag. The application should be able to ensure that Session-Lasting
IP addresses are regularly changed by setting a lifetime, for example,
handled by the application. In addition, the application should consider the use
of Graceful-Replacement IP addresses.<a href="#section-5-5" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-5-6"> Similarly, the OS may also associate IP addresses with a lifetime. Upon
receiving a request for a given type of IP address, after some time, the
OS should request a new address to the network even if it already has one IP
address available with the requested type. This includes any type of IP address.
IP addresses of type Graceful-Replacement or nonpersistent should be
regularly renewed by the OS.<a href="#section-5-6" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>

<p id="section-appendix.a-1">The following are some suggestions of possible extensions to the socket API
for enabling applications to convey their session continuity and address
reachability requirements.<a href="#section-appendix.a-1" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-appendix.a-2"><span>[<a href="#RFC5014" class="xref">RFC5014</a>]</span> introduced the ability of applications
to influence the source address selection with the IPV6_ADDR_PREFERENCE
option at the IPPROTO_IPV6 level. This option is used with setsockopt()
and getsockopt() calls to set/get address selection preferences.<a href="#section-appendix.a-2" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-appendix.a-3">One alternative is to extend the definition of the IPV6_ADDR_REFERENCE
option with flags that express the invoker's desire. An "OnDemand" field could
contain one of the following values: FIXED_IP_ADDRESS, SESSION_LASTING_IP_ADDRESS,
NON_PERSISTENT_IP_ADDRESS, or GRACEFUL_REPLACEMENT_IP_ADDRESS.<a href="#section-appendix.a-3" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-appendix.a-4">Another alternative is to define a new socket function used by the invoker
to convey its desire. This enables the implementation of two behaviors of
socket functions: the existing setsockopt() is a function that returns after
executing, and the new setsc() (Set Service Continuity) is a function that may
initiate a request for the desired service, and wait until the network responds
with the allocated resources, before returning to the invoker.<a href="#section-appendix.a-4" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
<p id="section-appendix.a-5">After obtaining an IP address with the desired behavior, the application can
call the bind() socket function to associate that received IP address with the
socket.<a href="#section-appendix.a-5" class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>
