Title : Parameters for Link Hints
Author(s) : P. Bertin et al.
Filename : draft-bertin-hints-params-00.txt

Link hints are going to be standardized to enhance interactions
between link and network layers, allowing a given node to integrate
and efficiently manage one or even several network interfaces.
Parameters conveyed in Link Hints shall provide the necessary
abstraction level to be mapped on several technologies. This
document provides a first list of parameters to be transported in
Link Hints but the way to transport them is out of the scope of
this document.
Two sets of parameters are proposed: the MN set gathers information
available at the Mobile Node whereas the AR set is relevant for the
Access Router side. In each set, parameters are grouped into three
distinct categories: static parameters are related to the hardware
implementation of the interface, configuration parameters are
manageable through interface configuration, status parameters are
highly varying as they provide the current link environment of the
interface.

In the body type:

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.
