Abstract
This document defines application service tags that allow servicelocation without relying on rigid domain naming conventions, and DNSprocedures for discovering servers that provide IEEE 802.21-definedMobility Services. Such Mobility Services are used to assist a MobileNode (MN) supporting IEEE 802.21, in handover preparation (networkdiscovery) and handover decision (network selection). The servicesaddressed by this document are the Media Independent Handover Servicesdefined in IEEE 802.21. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
