Objective The goal of ENABLE is to research, develop, test, integrate and evaluate mechanisms and technologies for the deployment of efficient and operational mobility as a service in large scale IPv6 network environments, taking into account also the transition scenario from IPv4. ENABLE will concentrate in the following main areas of work:- enhancement of Mobile IPv6 to enable, in the medium term, the offering of transparent terminal mobility in large operational networks including multiple administrative domains, heterogeneous access technologies and a rapidly growing number of users. This activity will address outstanding Mobile IPv6 issues like service authorization, autoconfiguration, interworking with IPv4, coexistence with IPv6 middleboxes (e.g. firewalls) and protocol reliability; - enrichment of the basic mobility service provided by Mobile IPv6 with a set of additional features, enabling the on-demand activation and autoconfiguration of specific "premium" network features (e.g. multi-homing, QoS, fast handovers) based on the operator policies and customers profiles;- analysis of goals and design principles for the evolution beyond Mobile IPv6 in the long term. This activity will investigate on scalability and performance issues that Mobile IPv6 might raise when the vast majority of Internet nodes will become mobile, introducing the requirement for a highly efficient treatment of traffic generated on the move. Moreover, promising, but not yet fully understood, mobility management alternatives (e.g. Host Identity Protocol) will be assessed, with the objective to identify possible strategies for their smooth deployment starting from an architecture based on Mobile IPv6.ENABLE will operate in close relation with IETF, IRTF and other relevant standardization fora (e.g. 3GPP), in order to ensure that the solutions developed by the project are in line with the architectural principles devised by the Internet community and can get possibly standardized.
