This draft is a work item of the Mobility for IPv6 Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Extension to Sockets API for Mobile IPv6
Author(s) : S. Chakrabarti, E. Nordmark
Filename : draft-ietf-mip6-mipext-advapi-04.txt
Pages : 22
Date : 2005-6-7
This document describes data structures and API support for Mobile
IPv6 as an extension to Advanced Socket API for IPv6.
Mobility Support in IPv6 introduces mobility protocol header
for IPv6. It is expected that future Mobile IPv6 applications
and implementations may need to access Mobility binding messages
and Return Routability messages for diagnostic, packet accounting
and local policy setting purposes. In order to provide portability
for Mobile IP applications that use sockets under IPv6,
standardization is needed for the Mobile IPv6 specific APIs.
This document provides mechanism for API access to retrieve and set
information for Mobility Header messages, Home Address destination
options and type 2 Routing header extension headers. It discusses
the common data structures and definitions that might be used by
advanced Mobile IPv6 socket applications.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-mip6-mipext-advapi-04.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.
