draft-ietf-dhc-dna-ipv4-07.txt addresses the problem of detecting
attachment to an IPv4 network.  The time required to detect movement
(or lack of movement) between subnets, and to obtain (or continue to
use) a valid IPv4 address may be significant as a fraction of the
total delay in moving between points of attachment.  This
specification synthesizes experience garnered over the years in the
deployment of hosts supporting ARP, DHCP and IPv4 Link-Local
addresses, in order to optimize detection of network attachment by
mobile hosts.  This draft is available as
