Foreign Agent Error Extension for Mobile IPv4
RFC 4636, “Foreign Agent Error Extension for Mobile IPv4”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2006 by C. Perkins. It updates RFC 3344. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies a new extension for use by Foreign Agents operating Mobile IP for IPv4. Currently, a foreign agent cannot supply status information without destroying the ability for a mobile node to verify authentication data supplied by the home agent. The new extension solves this problem by making a better place for the foreign agent to provide its status information to the mobile node. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
