Title : Simultaneous Handoff of Mobile-IPv4 and 802.11

This document describes a way to perform simultaneous Mobile-IPv4 handoff and 802.11 Access Point Association/Reassociation. Mobile-IPv4 Registration messages are carried as Information Elements in 802.11 frames. This way Mobile-IPv4 can perform handoff at the same time as 802.11 handoffs. The Foreign Agent can be a part of the Access Point or may serve a number of Access Points. The implications to existing mobility entities such as Access Point, Mobile Node, and Foreign Agent are disccussed. Also pointed out are potential issues with 802.1x and the emerging 802.11i standards.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-goswami-mobileip-simultaneous-handoff-v4-02.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
