       Title     : Mobile-IP Local Registration with Hierarchical 
                   Foreign Agents

The base mobile-IP specification allows mobile computers to move freely 
between various points of attachment to the Internet.  However, each time 
the mobile computer moves, a Registration Request message has to be 
approved by the mobile node's Home Agent.  In cases where the home agent is
far away, it may become too expensive or (in the cases of network 
partition) even impossible to complete these frequent registrations.  In 
this draft document, we specify a new variety of registration, using a 
Regional Registration Request and Regional Registration Reply, that is no 
longer always required to be transacted with the home agent.

Send a message to:  mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-perkins-mobileip-hierfa-00.txt".
							
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net 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.
							
For questions, please mail to Internet-Drafts@cnri.reston.va.us.
							

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader 
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
