D-PMIPv6 is a Distributed mobility management scheme based on Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) which splits the control and data plane of traditional mobility anchor. Flow mobility support is becoming increasingly common in multiinterfaces environment because it provides flexible network selection per application flow and better network experience for mobile users. Flow mobility support is the missing piece in D-PMIPv6. This motivated us to make an improvement based on D-PMIPv6 to design and analyze a flow mobility management mechanism and implement it in a real network test-bed in this paper. From the experimental results, we show that the flow mobility in the D-PMIPv6 is realized.
