1. Introduction
- The demand for wireless mobile networking has been dramatically
+ The use of the wireless mobile networking has been dramatically
increased thanks to rapid development of wireless technology and
- de facto Mobile IP technology [1]. Therefore, the need for
- standardized method of specifying the user over different Internet
- Service Providers (ISPs) was identified. NAI is as defined in
- RFC-2486 provides the standardized method for identifying users
- in order to accomplish the interoperability for roaming and
- tunneling over multiple Internet Service Providers (ISPs).
- The NAI (Network Access Identifier) is of the form user@realm [3].
-
- The DNS basically provides a mechanism to map between hostnames and
- IP address with support of many other RRs thorough hierarchically
- built domain names.
+ commercial deployment of Mobile IP technology [RFC3220].
+ The most recent release of Mobile IPv4 supports the dynamic Home
+ Address assignment mechanism that allow MN (Mobile Node) being
+ identified by NAI (Network Access Identifier) [RFC2486] rather than
+ static Home IP address. NAI has a prominent role on the mobile
+ network environment. This is not only because NAI significantly
+ reduces the IPv4 address shortage problem and but also it provides
+ the standardized method for identifying users in order to accomplish
+ the interoperability for roaming over multiple ISPs (Internet Service
+ Providers).
- Combining above two, NAI and DNS shall enable IP user mobility [2].
- The IP user mobility is the ability of end user to send and
- receive IP datagrams regardless of the location of the mobile
- terminal and user location.
+ The most of the Mobile IPv4 deployment including 3GPP2 CDMA2000
+ wireless packet data system architecture [P.S0001-B] identify
+ the Mobile Node by NAI. Therefore the need for standardized method
+ of binding the ever changing home address of the MN over various ISPs
+ to NAI is necessary.
- This document specifies a new RR type for NAI, mapping host IP
- address and user identifier (NAI) [3].
+ The DNS basically provides a mechanism to map between hostnames and
+ IP address with support of many other RRs thorough hierarchically
+ built domain names. The NAI is of the form user@realm [RFC2486].
+ Adding NAI as a DNS RR shall enable tracking of the dynamically
+ changed home IP address. This document specifies a new RR type for
+ NAI, mapping host IP address and user identifier (NAI) [RFC2486].
2. Applicability Statement
-
+
+ Mobile IPv4 is designed to provide the IP mobility that provides
+ reasonably seamless IP connectivity. Since the MN (Mobile Node) is
+ no longer necessarily identified by the unique home IP address,
+ the mechanism for the locating and updating newly assigned home IP
+ address is required [UM].
+
The NAI RR defines user identifier, NAI widely used for PPP dialup
connection and Mobile IPv4. The basic idea is to let mobile Internet
- user to constantly update its location(IP address), while moving
- around multiple access provider network. It can enables
- correspondent user to always reach the specific user by querying NAI
- to name server, regardless of the location.
+ user to constantly update its IP address, while moving around

+ regardless of the connecting location.
It is expected that NAI RR will be used in IRS(Internet Reachability
- Service) of 3GPP2 wireless IP network standard [4] (see Appendix A)
- and IP user mobility application [5]. Those application depends on
- one to one mapping of NAI and mobile host IP address in name server.
