Title : NEighborhood Discovery (NED) for Wireless Networks

In wireless networks, there is a need to discover what types of
networks are around a particular node. This need arises both when a
node connects initially to a network and when a node needs to perform
handover. Characteristics such as type of wireless technology, service
provider, bandwidth availability, etc. may all be of interest in making
a network connection or handover decision. In addition, a mobile node
may require a mapping between the Layer 2 access point identifier and
IP link information such as the Mobile IPv4 foreign agent address, or
IPv6 access router address and subnet prefixes, so that the node can
configure itself for the new IP link prior to moving. This document
describes the Neighborhood information Elements Discovery (NED)
protocol, for representing information elements that contain
neighborhood information. The packet format presented in this document
is independent of transport so that multiple mobility protocols can
make use of it.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-kempf-mipshop-nhood-discovery-00.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.
