GOALS FOR THE WORKSHOP
----------------------
Cellular networks architectures rely on hierarchical and centralised =
mobility anchoring functions tracking mobile nodes location and =
movements while supporting mobile traffic management and indirections. =
It is now recognized that such approaches lead to scalability issues =
like the creation of networks bottlenecks in central mobility anchoring =
functions as well as efficiency issues in cascading several per-user =
traffic encapsulation/de-capsulation functions. Hence, with the =
exponential growth in mobile data services usage, scalability and =
quality of service issues are foreseen even if most of users are not on =
the move while communicating.

Considering the current trend in flattening networks architectures, new =
means of supporting mobility can be envisaged in a more distributed and =
dynamic fashion. Such considerations include end-hosts and network =
schemes.

In end-hosts schemes, mobility is provided at end-hosts level only, i.e. =
without requiring mobility management functions support in the network. =
Some examples are the use of facility offered by transport (M-TCP, SCTP) =
or application (SIP, HTTP Streaming) layer protocols in switching IP =
addresses used for end-to-end communications.

In network schemes, new distributed mobility management approaches =
consider the distribution of anchoring functions among flat networking =
entities. The main motivation is the elimination of nowadays single =
point of failures and user traffic bottlenecks. Thus, mobility related =
working groups in the IETF are now exploring requirements and solutions =
supporting DMM (Distributed Mobility Management). These new approaches =
promise the delivery of a better quality of service together with more =
open networks, well suited to the provision of heterogeneous access and =
offload solutions. They are also well suited for the integration with =
both content networking and cloud networking functions at the network =
edge. However, they may introduce new issues like security or location =
concerns among others whereas there consideration in the evolution of =
cellular networks architectures like the EPC one is not yet foreseen in =
the 3GPP.

The goal of this workshop is to provide and further analyse a =
comprehensive vision in the design and issues for mobility management =
schemes in flat networks.
