Title : Recommendations for Achieving Seamless IPv6 Handover
in IEEE 802.11 Networks

To achieve seamless layer 3 handover, mobile nodes must be able to
perform movement detection and neighborhood candidate access routers
discovery quickly and efficiently.
In this document, we present a conceptual overview on how to extend
the IEEE 802.11 Management frames to carry extensible application-
specific Information Element, which allow access points to advertise
the capabilities information of its associated network/provider and
to improve movement detection. We believe that mobile nodes can thus
dynamically discover neighboring candidate access routers or
networks more quickly and efficiently, and also to obtain valuable
capabilities information so as to select the 'best' target access
router to initiate seamless handover.

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.
