        Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) Goals                             for Mobile IPv6

Abstract

   In commercial and enterprise deployments, Mobile IPv6 can be a    service offered by a Mobility Services Provider (MSP).  In this case,    all protocol operations may need to be explicitly authorized and    traced, requiring the interaction between Mobile IPv6 and the AAA    infrastructure.  Integrating the Authentication, Authorization, and    Accounting (AAA) infrastructure (e.g., Network Access Server and AAA    server) also offers a solution component for Mobile IPv6    bootstrapping.  This document describes various scenarios where a AAA    interface for Mobile IPv6 is required.  Additionally, it lists design    goals and requirements for such an interface.
