       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.

  Once the style has stabilized and has been adopted as an official RFC style,

      <h2 id="abstract"><a href="#abstract" class="selfRef">Abstract</a></h2>
<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>

      </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-5-7"> The lifetime of an IP address may be expressed in number of seconds or
 in number of bytes sent through this IP address.<a href="#section-5-7" 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>
