Title: Mobile-IPv4 Configuration Option for PPP IPCP
Author(s): J. Solomon, S. Glass.
Status: PROPOSED STANDARD
Date: Feb 1998
Length: 39421
Updates: RFC2002
Updated by: RFC2794
Mobile IP [RFC2002] defines media-independent procedures by which a Mobile Node can maintain existing transport and application-layer connections despite changing its point-of-attachment to the Internet and without changing its IP address. PPP [RFC1661] provides a standard method for transporting multi-protocol packets over point- to-point links. As currently specified, Mobile IP Foreign Agents which support Mobile Node connections via PPP can do so only by first assigning unique addresses to those Mobile Nodes, defeating one of the primary advantages of Foreign Agents. This documents corrects this problem by defining the Mobile-IPv4 Configuration Option to the Internet Protocol Control Protocol (IPCP) [RFC1332]. Using this option, two peers can communicate their support for Mobile IP during the IPCP phase of PPP. Familiarity with Mobile IP [RFC2002], IPCP
[RFC1332], and PPP [RFC1661] is assumed.
