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
   deployment of Mobile IP it is useful to have vendor or organization-
   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.

1.1. Specification Language

   The keywords "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [3].

   In addition, the following words are used to signify the requirements
   of the specification.
