There are a large number of IP access networks that support mobility 
of hosts. For example, wireless Personal Area Networks (PANs), 
wireless LANs, satellite WANs and cellular WANs. The nature of this 
mobility is such that the communication path to the host changes 
frequently and rapidly.  
This Internet-Draft describes the problem encountered during 
mobility that requires the exchange of IP context between different 
forwarding nodes in an access network.

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.
