Abstract
Mobile IP ensures correct routing of packets to a mobile node as the
mobile node changes its point of attachment to the Internet.
However, it is also required to provide proper Quality of Service
(QoS) forwarding treatment to the mobile node's packet stream at the
intermediate nodes in the network, so that QoS-sensitive IP services
can be supported over Mobile IP. This document describes
requirements for an IP QoS mechanism for its satisfactory operation
with Mobile IP.
