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.
