Mobile IP[1] has emerged as a preferred solution for the macro mobility
problem. In this draft, we discuss a possible extension to the existing
Mobile IPv4 for multi-mode wireless terminals. This extension is based
on [2] and has several advantages, including lesser packet delay,
reduced traffic load on the home agent and lesser packet loss during
handoff. In addition. This also allows the mobile node to take full
advantage of Layer-2 specific features provided by the network. The
proposal in this draft is in its initial stage and needs to be further
studied.

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
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
