In a public WLAN hotspot, we need to have an easy and secure way to
authenticate users. We have to find also mobility solutions, given
by providers, to perform well the roaming. A roaming mobile terminal
MT may be within radio range of more than one access point AP.
Therefore, we need to make an intelligent network selection decision
after receiving some roaming information. Currently, the information
is typically provisioned on the MTs as static roaming tables. But,
this approach is not scalable when there is a large number of access
points.
In this draft, we propose our solution called OSFR, Optimized Network
Selection for Fast Roaming to improve association speed and
scalability.

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.
