Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Options for IEEE 802.21 Mobility Services Discovery
RFC 5678, “Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Options for IEEE 802.21 Mobility Services Discovery”, is a Proposed Standard document published in December 2009 by G. Bajko, S. Das. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines new Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCPv4 and DHCPv6) options that contain a list of IP addresses and a list of domain names that can be mapped to servers providing IEEE 802.21 type of Mobility Service (MoS) (see RFC 5677). These Mobility Services are used to assist a mobile node (MN) in handover preparation (network discovery) and handover decision (network selection). The services addressed in this document are the Media Independent Handover Services defined in IEEE 802.21. [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.
