RE: Context Transfer Extension to Cellular-IP v01

Hi Michael,
 
I gave the draft a quick read, I have no substantial comments at the moment,
but I did notice some formatting bugs & also I suggest that you normalize
the terminology with the terminology in the Terminalogy draft.
 
One question, as this seems to be an extention to Cellular IP and not
really related to CTP that we are working on in Seamoby, I am not sure
the relevance of this draft.  I will remind you that we are trying to go
dormant after this meeting in Vienna.
 
thanks,
John


Hi all, 

The Internet draft below, proposes a Context Transfer Extension to 
Cellular-IP. 


        Title           : Context Transfer Extension to Cellular-IP 
        Author(s)       : M. Georgiades et al. 
        Filename        : draft-georgiades-seamoby-ctecip-01.txt 
        Pages           : 13 
        Date            : 2003-7-1 
  
This Internet draft enhances cellular-IP mobility protocol with a 
Context Transfer mechanism aiming to further optimise the handoff 
operation in mobile networks. Within a cellular-IP domain, during the 
handoff from one cellular-IP base station to another, cellular-IP 
packets could be  used to initiate and transfer authorised context 
from the previous cellular-IP base station via the cellular-IP 
gateway to the new cellular-IP base station. This draft presents how 
the context transfer extension introduced could facilitate in 
reducing latency and packet loss by avoiding the signalling required 
between the mobile node and the new base station  in  re-establishing 
the desired state information.
