Qiaobing,
Just to understand the background...
Are you assuming that there is no IP mobility signaling like FMIPv6 to
minimize the handover latency?
Another question, do you think the dhcp servers should provide IP
address leases for hosts that are not on the link?
Regards,
Srini

The whole idea of developing 802.21 is to find a better way to do
handover, which include altering some traditional sequential events in
order to reduce the handover latency. Finding a way to pre-determine
some IP configuration before the handover is a way of reducing handover
latency because you would need less time to configure your new IP
connection after the handover. We have talked about this in the past
802.21 meeting many times. Why is this basic concept still an issue?
