handovers

Multi mode terminals are becoming pervasive. In a multi mode
environment, Mobile Terminals (MTs) move from the coverage of one radio
access network to another. There is a need to maintain ongoing network
sessions to support seamless services. For example, a MT may roam
between a 3G cellular network and a wireless LAN seamlessly with
session continuity. It is possible for a single service provider to
support multiple modes but it is expected that different modes will be
supported by different service providers. For example WLAN support can
be enterprise supported where as 3G services are supported by a wide
area service provider. In this draft we discuss handover support
between multiple domains (modes) where a MT can use different IP
addresses or can use a global IP address. Handover between different
modes will then require greater federation capabilities between the
different IP domains.
In this draft we discuss Home Agent federation capabilities over Mobile
IP so that inter-technology, inter-domain handovers are better
supported.

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.
