An IP device requires basic host configuration to be able to
communicate.  For example, it will typically require an IP address
and the address of a DNS server.  This information is configured
statically or obtained dynamically using Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) or Point-to-Point Protocol/IP Control Protocol
(PPP/IPCP).  However, both DHCP and PPP/IPCP provide host
configuration based on the access network.  In Mobile IPv4, the
registration process boots up a Mobile Node at an access network, also
known as a foreign network.  The information to configure the host
needs to be based on the home network.  This document describes the
Cisco vendor-specific extensions to Mobile IPv4 to provide the base
host configuration in Registration Request and Reply messages.
