The MIPSHOP working group is currently developing functionality to
support media independent handover services, which are intended to
aid IP handover mechanisms between heterogeneous wired and wireless
access systems. These handover services provide a mechanism by which
information such as the presence of neighbouring links and networks,
and their associated characteristics, can be delivered to mobile and
other network nodes for the purposes of supporting better handover
decisions. A key component of the solution is the protocols that are
used to deliver the various types of information to the appropriate
destination node. A separate problem statement draft outlines a
structure for this set of protocols as a unified set of common
functions, supporting a more diverse set of application specific
protocols. This draft outlines the key considerations that have to
be considered when selecting or designing protocols for such common
functionality.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-hepworth-mipshop-mih-design-considerations-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.
