Abstract
A method for a proxy mobile internet protocol (PMIP) supporting a mobile access gateway (MAG) is described. The method includes receiving a first packet with a first internet protocol (IP) address from a local mobility anchor (LMA). The LMA is a hybrid mobility anchor used for both multicast and unicast traffic. The method also includes receiving a second packet with a second IP address from the LMA, receiving a third packet from the LMA, and communicating multicast information to the LMA via an aggregated multicast tunnel.
