IP Routing for Wireless/Mobile Hosts (mobileip) ----------------------------------------------- Charter Last Modified: 28-Oct-97 Current Status: Active Working Group Chair(s): Erik Nordmark Jim Solomon Routing Area Director(s): Joel Halpern Routing Area Advisor: Joel Halpern Mailing Lists: General Discussion:mobile-ip@smallworks.com To Subscribe: majordomo@smallworks.com In Body: subscribe mobile-ip Archive: ftp://ftp.smallworks.com/mobile-ip.archive Description of Working Group: The Mobile IP Working Group is chartered to develop or adopt architectures and protocols to support mobility within the Internet. In the near-term, protocols for supporting transparent host ``roaming'' among different subnetworks and different media (e.g., LANs, dial-up links, and wireless communication channels) shall be developed and entered into the Internet standards track. The work is expected to consist mainly of new and/or revised protocols at the (inter)network layer, but may also include proposed modifications to higher-layer protocols (e.g., transport or directory). However, it shall be a requirement that the proposed solutions allow mobile hosts to interoperate with existing Internet systems. In the longer term, the group may address, to the extent not covered by the mobile host solutions, other types of internet mobility, such as mobile subnets (e.g., a local network within a vehicle), or mobile clusters of subnets (e.g., a collection of hosts, routers, and subnets within a large vehicle, like a ship or spacecraft, or a collection of wireless, mobile routers that provide a dynamically changing internet topology). Goals and Milestones: Done Review and approve the charter, making any changes deemed necessary. Done Post an Internet-Draft documenting the Mobile Hosts protocol. Done Review the charter of the Mobile IP Working Group for additional work required to facilitate non-host mobility. Jul 96 Submit the IPv4 Mobile Host Protocol to the IESG as a Proposed Standard. Dec 96 Submit the IPv6 Mobile Host Protocol to the IESG as a Proposed Standard. Mar 97 Review the WG charter and update as needed.
