An AP is not an IP device. However, I want to include the AP in the *Mobile IP device* Although the AP is not on the map of IETF, the performance and operability of moble IP will become better if we consider L2 & L3 combination for fast handoff. "draft-mccann-mobileip-80211fh-00.txt" is a 802.11-related draft , and it is runring for being a standardization in IETF. I think that *The AP cahed RAs* can be a standardization in IETF, too. > > That said, I think the proposal is a good one and it should be taken to IEEE > 802.11. Somehow, we need to figure out a way to get 802.11 to pay more attention > to MIP. I agree with you. Currently, we have three 802.11-related works in Mobile IP. 1) Fast-Handover MIPv6 over 802.11 2) AP with the cached RA. 3) L2 trigger API (this may be used in Fast-Handover MIP over 802.11) Maybe, more 802-11 related works will be appeared in the future.
