Title : A Context Transfer Framework for supporting fast
handover

Filename : draft-satish-contexttransfer-framework-00.txt

Mobile nodes enhance their connections across wireless media by
establishing specific parameters at the FA/AR/AP in order to
facilitate optimal usage of the resources as well as enhance the QoS
as seen by a MN. During handover from one access router to another, a
bandwidth-constrained mobile node MAY need to have state information
passed from the previous router to the new one. This document
proposes a context transfer framework that makes use of existing fast
handoff signaling for context transfer as well as provide a mechanism
for QoS negotiation and renegotiations. We also cover CT under CAR
discovery. The suggested mechanism provides for context transfer so
that the applications running on the mobile node could operate with
minimal disruption.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
