A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Mobile IP Agents as DHCP Proxies Author(s) : S. Glass Filename : draft-glass-mobileip-agent-dhcp-proxy-01.txt Pages : 21 Date : 02-Mar-01 Since the inclusion of the Network Access Identifier (NAIs) into the mobile ip fabric, home agents have had a way to identify mobile nodes which do not have home IP addresses. After authenticating the registration request from such a mobile node, the home agent is then expected to assign a home addresses to the mobile node in the registration reply to be used on a semi-permanent basis. Unfortunately, no specific mechanism has yet been proposed. Ideally, as DHCP centralizes address management, a home agent should contact a DHCP server to allocate an address for the mobile node, thereby preserving DHCP as the central address maintainer. The technology does exist for a Home Agent to use DHCP controlled addresses, namely for the Home Agent to behave as a DHCP proxy agent.

A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-glass-mobileip-agent-dhcp-proxy-01.txt". 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.
