Abstract
This document defines two new extensions to Mobile IP. These
extensions will facilitate equipment vendors and organizations to
make specific use of these extensions as they see fit for research or
deployment purposes.
1. Introduction
Current specification of Mobile IP [1] does not allow for
organizations and vendors to include organization/vendor-specific
information in the Mobile IP messages. With the imminent wide scale

Specific Extensions to support this capability. This document
defines two extensions that can be used for making organization
specific extensions by vendors/organizations for their own specific
purposes.
