The increase in the use of different access networks which involves
different mechanisms for authentication and access authorizations,
demands the new mechanisms to roam at any time anywhere with low
latency. To overcome this process we need new mechanisms where a user
terminal roams in different access networks with low latency and
efficiently. There is a need for unified signaling mechanisms for
choosing and accessing networks.
In this draft we have discussed some of the processes involved in
network selection, mobility management, security management in detailed
to perform handover. The Handover information is passed to home server
using the new handover method using EAP proposed vice versa in this
draft. Even though there are different mechanisms provide this support
such as IAPP context transfer mechanisms for seamless mobility some of
the instances like supporting different access networks, roaming in
access networks etc is not considered. The proposed mechanism is
interoperable with the existing procedures involving security
authentication and mobility during roaming.

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.
