Title : Dynamic Home Addressing in Mobile IP using Transient
Tunnels

Dynamic home addressing has lately become a popular and viable
approach for configuring mobile IP hosts. This draft introduces a
method for these hosts to dynamically acquire a home address
through DHCP when powering up in a foreign network, referred to as
the Transient Tunneling (TT) procedure. Our procedure solves the
problem that mobile hosts cannot rely on conventional broadcasting
procedures to properly discover an addressing server in their home
network. While leveraging the growing DHCP code-base, our
procedure requires no changes to protocol standards and only minor
changes to server implementations. In addition, its impact on
host power-up latency is acceptable in conventional wide-area
networks scenarios. Alternative solutions are discussed along
with other issues related to dynamic addressing on mobile hosts
such as wireless bandwidth usage.

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
Internet-Draft.
