Folks,
Please see the "Link-layer Hints for Detecting Network Attachments" I-D
announcement below.
This is an attempt to catalogue useful link-layer hints for network
attachment detection. Draft covers IEEE 802.11, cdma2000, and GPRS links as
examples (more to be added later). And defines an abstraction.
Please read... Comments welcome.

Title : Link-layer Hints for Detecting Network Attachments

Certain link-layer technologies are capable of providing various link
status information to the IP module. Indicating the status of the link,
such as connected or disconnected, and the link identifier can help the
IP module make intelligent decisions regarding configuration changes.
It has been identified that such information can be used as hints for
network attachment detection purposes. This draft provides a
non-exhaustive catalogue of such hints from well-known link-layer
technologies. Furthermore, a high-level abstraction is defined to
categorize such hints.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
