Abstract
An apparatus comprising at least one processor configured to receive a first message from a local mobility anchor (LMA), wherein the first message initiates a flow binding operation that does not require mobility management by a mobile node (MN), perform the flow binding operation, and transmit a second message from a media access gateway (MAG) to the LMA acknowledging that the flow binding operation was successfully performed, wherein the flow binding operation comprises adding the flow binding to a MAG, deleting the flow binding from the MAG, modifying the flow binding in the MAG, refreshing the flow binding in the MAG, moving the flow binding from the MAG to a second MAG, switching the flow binding from the LMA to a second LMA, or combinations thereof.
