Locating IEEE 802.21 Mobility Services Using DNS
RFC 5679, “Locating IEEE 802.21 Mobility Services Using DNS”, is a Proposed Standard document published in December 2009 by G. Bajko. It has since been updated by RFC 8553. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines application service tags that allow service location without relying on rigid domain naming conventions, and DNS procedures for discovering servers that provide IEEE 802.21-defined Mobility Services. Such Mobility Services are used to assist a Mobile Node (MN) supporting IEEE 802.21, in handover preparation (network discovery) and handover decision (network selection). The services addressed by 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.
