The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Generic Notification Message for Mobile IPv4' <draft-ietf-mip4-generic-notification-message-16.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Mobility for IPv4 Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Jari Arkko and Ralph Droms. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mip4-generic-notification-message/ Technical Summary The Generic Notification Message for Mobile IPv4 augments the original registration process of Mobile IPv4, which supports only mobile-node initiated signaling, with two new messages. The Generic Notification Message can be generated by any mobility agent and directed at any other mobility agent, and the Generic Notification Acknowledgement Message can be sent in response. The new mechanism is expected to be a useful container for information exchange and session management between the three kinds of mobility agents. Working Group Summary The document underwent Working Group Last call in April 2008 and was improved based on lengthy subsequent discussion. In particular, the security considerations were updated to describe the timestamp-based replay protection mechanism and clock re-synchronization. Document Quality The document was reviewed for quality by Pete McCann.
