All,

We have posted a new I-D with the title: "MPTCP Proxies and Anchors":

http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-hampel-mptcp-proxies-anchors-00.txt

The MPTCP proxy has already been discussed in the WG. We also introduce the MPTCP anchor which supports end-to-end MPTCP connections and is a logical complement to the proxy.

In this draft, we work through various scenarios where proxies/anchors should/could be supported and what the implications are for MPTCP signaling. Some of the issues have already been identified before, e.g. in our draft from June 2011, ML discussions and conference call late 2011. Others are new.

We invite everybody to read the draft and to provide comments. Thanks.

Regards,

- Georg
