Many protocols currently being developed for seamless IP-level
handovers, such as fast handovers and context transfers, possess an
inherent requirement that the mobile node and/or it's current access
router have a priori knowledge concerning the target of the handover.
In particular, the target access router (TAR) should be known to have
the appropriate set of capabilities necessary to meet the requirements
of the mobile node. Although the TAR selection process occurs at or
near the time of handover, applicable candidate access routers (CARs)
can be identified in advance. In this draft, we propose a dynamic,
distributed protocol, dyCARD, which allows geographically adjacent
routers to exchange capability information, thus providing critical
information to the target selection process.

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
