Technical Summary
The document provides a problem statement for the exchange of
information to support handover in heterogeneous link environments.
This mobility support service allows more sophisticated handover
operations by making available information about network
characteristics, neighboring networks and associated characteristics,
indications that a handover should take place, and suggestions for
suitable target networks to which to handover. The mobility support
services work complementarily with IP mobility mechanisms to enhance
the overall performance and usability perception.
Working Group Summary
This is a product of the MIPSHOP WG.
Protocol Quality
The draft has been reviewed by numerous folks, including folks
who are proficient in transport and mobility. This document went
through a WG last call in the MIPSHOP WG. The document captures
the issues to be addressed in the MIPSHOP WG work for implementing
a transport for the IEEE 802.21 services. As such, the document
has also been reviewed by the IEEE 802.21 liaison and many of
their members.
Jari Arkko has reviewed this specification for the IESG. Gorry
Fairhurst provided a transport review.
Note to RFC Editor
Remove annex and adding the following sentence in
Section 1:
Requirements to support 802.21 by L3 and above transport are
described in [1] (work in progress).
Please change in Section 5.2:
OLD:
A common security association negotiation method, independent
of any specific MSTP user, should be implemented.
NEW:
A common security association negotiation method, independent
of any specific MSTP user, should be implemented between the endpoints
of the MSTP.
Please correct the following: On page 8:
/other standards bodies other than the IETF/
^^^^^
- remove "other"
On page 11
/arrive at a rate of hundreds of milliseconds/
- It should be "at an interval of hundreds of milliseconds".
On page 11
/ to around 65000 bytes/
^^^^^^
- Should be: to be normally less than 64KB, but may be greater than 64
