Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) combines the efficiency and 
simplicity of IP routing together with the high-speed switching of
ATM. Mobile IP is a protocol that allows mobile users to maintain
continuous IP network connectivity. In this document, we describe
a scheme to integrate both the Mobile IP and MPLS protocols. The
integration of both these protocols improves the scalability of the
Mobile IP data forwarding process by leveraging on the features of
MPLS which are fast switching, small state maintenance and high
scalability. In addition, we have removed the need for IP-in-IP 
tunneling from Home Agent (HA) to Foreign Agent (FA) under this
scheme. This document defines the signaling and control mechanisms
required to integrate MPLS and Mobile IP.

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.
