A new Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
This draft is an Individual Submission regarding a new micro-mobility
approach for legacy terminals.

         Title : Terminal Independent Mobile IP (TIMIP)
         Author(s) : P. Estrela, A. Grilo, T. Vazão, M. Nunes
         Filename : draft-estrela-timip-00.txt
         Pages : 10
         Date : March 2002

 Abstract:
    IP mobility protocols usually assume that the mobile nodes have a
    mobility-aware IP stack, which is still a scenario that can seldom
    be found nowadays. Most terminals, including laptops and PDAs, still
    use legacy IP stacks, limiting their use to layer-2 mobility between
    Access Points (APs) connected to the same Access Router (AR) within
    a single IP subnet. This document presents Terminal Independent
    Mobile IP (TIMIP), which supports IP mobility of mobility-unaware
    mobile nodes with legacy IP stacks, while fully interoperating with
    Mobile IP to provide macromobility across IP subnets.
