Abstract
There are provided measures for traffic flow mobility with a single host connection. Such measures exemplarily comprise the definition of a first binding between a set of home addresses of a host and an address of a first interface of a mobile access gateway to a local mobility anchor, the definition of at least one second binding between the same set of home addresses of the host and an address of at least one second interface of the mobile access gateway to the local mobility anchor, and the recording of a mapping between any one of the first and second bindings and traffic flows between the host and the local mobility anchor via a host connection to the mobile access gateway.
Claims35
A method comprising:
- establishing a first binding between a set of home addresses of a host and an address of a first interface of a mobile access gateway to a local mobility anchor, wherein the host is a user equipment,
- establishing at least one second binding between the same set of home addresses of the host and an address of at least one second interface of the mobile access gateway to the local mobility anchor, and
- recording a mapping between any one of the first and second bindings and traffic flows between the host and the local mobility anchor via a host connection to the mobile access gateway, wherein the mapping is stored in the host.
A method comprising:
- specifying a first binding by associating a set of home addresses of a host and an address of a first interface of a mobile access gateway to a local mobility anchor, wherein the host is a user equipment,
- specifying at least one second binding by associating the same set of home addresses of the host and an address of at least one second interface of the mobile access gateway to the local mobility anchor, and
- recording a mapping between any one of the first and second bindings and traffic flows between the host and the local mobility anchor via a host connection to the mobile access gateway, wherein the mapping is stored in the host.
An apparatus comprising:
- a connector configured to connect to at least another apparatus,
- a memory configured to store computer program code, and
- a processor configured to cause the apparatus to perform:
- establishing a first binding between a set of home addresses of a host and an address of a first interface of a mobile access gateway to a local mobility anchor, wherein the host is a user equipment,
- establishing at least one second binding between the same set of home addresses of the host and an address of at least one second interface of the mobile access gateway to the local mobility anchor, and
- recording a mapping between any one of the first and second bindings and traffic flows between the host and the local mobility anchor via a host connection to the mobile access gateway, wherein the mapping is stored in the host.
