Mobile-IPv4 describes how a Mobile Node can perform layer 3 handoff between subnets served by different Foreign Agents. Sometimes the delay during handoffs can exceed the threshold of delay sensitive applications. So low delay must be considered.
This document describes a method to perform fast handoff on the Layer 2 for Mobile-IPv4 with 802.11's Access Point. Mobile-IPv4 Registration messages are carried in the Information Elements of 802.11 frames. According to this method, Mobile-IPv4 can perform handoff at the same time as 802.11 handoff.
But some modifications bust be adopted in the existing Mobile-IPv4 and
802.11's entities such as Mobile Node and Access Point.

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
