Internet-Draft             DHCP for Mip type               February 2006


Abstract

   Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is used as the trigger of network 
   to distinguish if a MS need the proxy mip capability.But a MS maybe 
   has the MIP capability.We need a flag to know if a MS need or require
   Proxy MIP capability.This document explains we can define a flag in 
   dhcp option to state that a MS wish or doesn't wish to have the Proxy
   MIP capability.

Internet-Draft             DHCP for Mip type               February 2006


1.  Introduction

   Currently in some standards development organizations(SDO) some 
   simple IP terminal need to be implemented the MIP cability. That is
   finished by network without the MS's mobility support. That is named
   as PMIP(proxy MIP). But if all of the simple IP terminated will be 
   provided with the PMIP by PMIP-enabled network? Or if MIP-enabled
   terminal can also have the PMIP support by PMIP-enabled network?

   These requirements are needed to be defined.

   This document defines a flag in dhcp option to indicate that a MS wish 
   or doesn't wish to have the Proxy MIP capability.

1.1.  Terminology

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 RFC 2119
   [STANDARDS].

2.  Overview

   In DHCP protocol, we definedd a new option to indicate that if a MS
   need the proxy MIP capability.

   This flag should be used in both of stateless DHCP protocol or 
   stateful DHCP protocol.

   This flag should be used in both of DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 protocols.

3.  The Flag Suboption

   This section describes the defination of the mip type flag in DHCP option.

   The format of the suboption is:

          0                   1                   2
          0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3
         +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
         |     Code      |    Length     |    Flags      |
         +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

           Code     The suboption code. (TBD, to be assigned by IANA).

           Length   The suboption length, 1 octet.

           Flags    To indicate the mip type of the DHCP request sender

                       0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
                      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
                      |s|P|M|reserved |
                      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

                      S:  0: Non-simple ip terminal
                          1: A simple ip terminal
                      p:  0: No need the proxy MIP capability support
                          1: Need the proxy MIP capability support
                      M:  0: A terminal Without the mobile ip capability
                          1: mobile ip terminal

4.  DHCP function entity consideration
   
   The DHCP Relay forward DHCP request messages with this option without 
   any modification on this option.

   After received DHCP request message,if can recognize this flag,the DHCP 
   server/proxy record the mip type of the specific MS and do relevent 
   operation based on network policy or user profile.
  
   If can't recognize this option, DHCP server/proxy will ignore it simply.

   If MS didn't have the capability to set this flag in DHCP message, it 
   should send traditional DHCP message without this messagge. And network 
   should have a default policy or priority to decide if a MS need to be 
   provided with the proxy MIP support.

5.  Security Considerations

   Secure delivery of the configuration information from a DHCP server
   to the mobile node (DHCP client) relies on the overall DHCP security.
   The messages defined in this document are secured by DHCP security
   mechanisms.

6.  Conclusions

   We presented DHCP protocol used to indicated that if a MS need the 
   Proxy MIP capability.
