RFC 2004:
Title: Minimal Encapsulation within IP
Author: C. Perkins
Date: October 1996
Mailbox: perk@watson.ibm.com
Pages: 6
Characters: 12,202
Updates/Obsoletes: None
URL: ftp://ds.internic.net/rfc/rfc2004.txt
This document specifies a method by which an IP datagram may be
encapsulated (carried as payload) within an IP datagram, with less
overhead than "conventional" IP encapsulation that adds a second IP
header to each encapsulated datagram. Encapsulation is suggested as a
means to alter the normal IP routing for datagrams, by delivering them
to an intermediate destination that would otherwise not be selected by
the (network part of the) IP Destination Address field in the original
IP header. Encapsulation may be serve a variety of purposes, such as
delivery of a datagram to a mobile node using Mobile IP. This RFC is a
product of the IP Routing for Wireless/Mobile Hosts Working Group of
the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
