The new IRTF publication process for research group documents includes peer review by chairs of other RGs. I'm the chair of the ASRG, and I claim no great expertise in mobile IP, so my review is primarily about the readability and utility of this document for a technical but non-specialist audience. Basically, I think it's quite good, and could be published as is although I have a few minor suggestions. The document starts with an description of the mobile IP environment and the goals of mobile optimization, and then enumerates a toolbox of techniques that might be used to improve a node's migration process from one address to another. Some of the techniques are fairly tricky, but I didn't have any trouble following them, even the dread ASCII art. My only suggestion is that I would have found it useful in section 3 to have a paragraph or two summarizing the salient characteristics of the mobile environment, such as power limitations that leadi to a desire to minimize traffic when a device is not moving. These all come up in the discussions of the techniques, but for those of us not steeped in mobile-thought, it would have been useful to see a list of them before starting into the toolbox so I could more easily understand the tradeoffs in using the techniques.
