Title : Unified L2 Abstractions for L3-Driven Fast Handover
Author(s) : F. Teraoka, et al.
Filename : draft-irtf-mobopts-l2-abstractions-05.txt
Pages : 39

This draft proposes unified L2 abstractions for L3-driven fast
handovers. For efficient network communication, it is vital for a
protocol layer to know or utilize other layer's information such as a
form of L2 triggers. However, each protocol layer is basically
designed independently. Since each protocol layer is also
implemented independently in current operating systems, it is very
hard to exchange control information between protocol layers. This
draft defines nine kinds of L2 abstractions in the form of
"primitives" to achieve fast handovers in the network layer as a
means of solving the problem. This mechanism is called "L3-driven
fast handovers" because the network layer initiates L2 and L3
handovers by using the "primitives". This document is a product of
the IP Mobility Optimizations (MobOpts) Research Group.

In the body type:

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
