This draft addresses the need to complement the IP mobility protocols
with respect to the co-ordination of a mobile node's network access.
The concept of Network Access Agent (NAA) is introduced as a
functional entity in the network to assist the mobile node's IP
handoff strategy. The Network Access Co-ordination Protocol (NACP) is
proposed as an interaction mechanism between the NAA and the mobile
node, so that the NAA can provide valuable information and
recommendations to the mobile node to consider in IP handoff. The
NACP is conceived so that it is completely independent of the Mobile
IP protocols.

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.
