This document presents the Context Transfer Protocol (CXTP) that
enables authorized context transfers.  Context transfers allow better
support for node based mobility so that the applications running on
mobile nodes can operate with minimal disruption.  Key objectives are
to reduce latency and packet losses, and to avoid the re-initiation of
signaling to and from the mobile node.

This document is a product of the Context Transfer, Handoff Candidate
Discovery, and Dormant Mode Host Alerting Working Group of the IETF.

This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
