This document outlines the objectives of defining and utilizing Link Hints to facilitate better decision-making in networking environments. Emphasizing the need for information to aid in selecting attachment points and discovering network parameters, it addresses applicability across various Layer 2 technologies. Parameters discussed include static, configuration, and link status, as well as neighbor information. Key aspects like network identifiers, attachment IDs, and data rates are covered to support improved mobility schemes for mobile nodes and networks.

Goal • Define information to be transported in Link Hints • Information should: • Help in choosing the next point of attachment • Help to faster discover network related parameters • Be applicable to various L2 technologies • Further assist enhanced mobility schemes in both MN and Networks
Set of parameters • AR sets – MN sets • For each set: • Static parameters • Configuration parameters • Link status parameters • Interface status • Information on neighbors
Link Status Parameters (Information on neighbors) • Available network ID • Available attachment ID • Advertisement frequency • Network configured data rate • Available radio link quality
Specific AR set • Beacon period • Number of attached node • Attached MN status • Network identifiers • Max packet retransmission Access router with wireless interface Several APs linked to an AR
