A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 5677 Title: IEEE 802.21 Mobility Services Framework Design (MSFD) Author: T. Melia, Ed., G. Bajko, S. Das, N. Golmie, JC. Zuniga Status: Standards Track Date: December 2009 Mailbox: telemaco.melia@alcatel-lucent.com, Gabor.Bajko@nokia.com, subir@research.telcordia.com, nada.golmie@nist.gov, j.c.zuniga@ieee.org Pages: 25 Characters: 57479 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-mipshop-mstp-solution-12.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5677.txt This document describes a mobility services framework design (MSFD) for the IEEE 802.21 Media Independent Handover (MIH) protocol that addresses identified issues associated with the transport of MIH messages. The document also describes mechanisms for Mobility Services (MoS) discovery and transport-layer mechanisms for the reliable delivery of MIH messages. This document does not provide mechanisms for securing the communication between a mobile node (MN) and the Mobility Server. Instead, it is assumed that either lower-layer (e.g., link-layer) security mechanisms or overall system-specific proprietary security solutions are used. [STANDARDS TRACK] This document is a product of the Mobility for IP: Performance, Signaling and Handoff Optimization Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Internet Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
