This document defines new Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCPv4 and DHCPv6) options that contain a list of IP addresses and
a list of domain names that can be mapped to servers providing IEEE
802.21 type of Mobility Service (MoS) (see RFC 5677).  These Mobility
Services are used to assist a mobile node (MN) in handover
preparation (network discovery) and handover decision (network
selection).  The services addressed in this document are the Media
Independent Handover Services defined in IEEE 802.21.  
[STANDARDS TRACK]

This document is a product of the Mobility for IP: Performance, Signaling and Handoff Optimization Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track
protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the Internet
