Abstract
IETF 41 was a time for consolidation of several existing efforts, and one new thread that shows good promise. Mobile IP has several new documents that have been accepted as Proposed Standards, and the IPv6 mobility support document has reached consensus on all major points within both the IPng working group and the Mobile IP working group. Within the Service Location Protocol areas of interest, there has been a new and hopefully final release of SLP version 2, and a Birds of Feather (BOF) about "wide-area" service location. Lastly, consideration of Mobile IP is spreading to other appropriate groups such as PPP-extensions, roamops, and ion.
