The IESG has received a request from the Mobility for IP: Performance,

- 'Locating IEEE 802.21 Mobility Servers using DNS '

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action.  Please send substantive comments to the

In Section 2.2:

  "If no NAPTR records are found, the client constructs SRV queries for
   those transport protocols it supports, and does a query for each.
   Queries are done using the service identifier "_MIHIS" for the MIH
   Information Service, "_MIHES" for the MIH Event Service and "_MIHCS"
   for the MIH Command Service. A particular transport is supported if
   the query is successful.  The client MAY use any transport protocol
   it desires which is supported by the server."

The document discourages the use of the regexp field. I cannot tell why the author went to such lengths to define a DDDS application when it would have been easier to use SRV queries for the transport protocols.

In Section 2.3:

  "If TARGET is a numeric IP address, the MN uses that IP address and
   the already chosen transport to contact the server providing the
   desired service."

According to RFC 2782, the target in SVR RR is a the domain name of the target host.

In Section 7, the Author's email address is listed as gabor(dot)bajko(at)nokia(dot)com. Could the author please publish a valid email address instead of obfuscating the email address like that? It makes it easier for readers who have questions or comments to contact the author.
