RFC 3025          Mobile IP Vendor Specific Extensions     February 2001


   While designing enhancements wherein a CVSE is included in a reply
   message, it should noted that the reply message could be discarded by
   the mobile IP entity processing this message.  Enhancements that
   include a CVSE should take this into consideration during design.

   When a Mobile IP entity receives a mobile IP related message
   (registration request/reply, advertisement/solicitation, etc.) with
   an extension of type NVSE-TYPE-NUMBER and recognizes it, but the
   extension contains an unknown/unsupported vendor ID or Vendor-NVSE-
   Type, the entire extension is skipped.

   NOTE that according to RFC 2002 [1], when an extension numbered
   within the range 0 through 127 is encountered in a registration
   message but not recognized, the message containing that extension
   MUST be silently discarded.  This document is compliant with the
   above specification and specifies the action if the extension of type
   CVSE-TYPE-NUMBER is encountered and recognized, but does not support
   the vendor ID or the vendor type extension within.

2.4 Error Codes

   The following error codes are defined.

   Registration denied by the Foreign agent:

        ERROR-FA-1 100: Unsupported Vendor-ID or
        unable to interpret Vendor-CVSE-Type in the CVSE sent by the
        Mobile Node to the Foreign Agent.

        ERROR-FA-2 101: Unsupported Vendor-ID or
        unable to interpret Vendor-CVSE-Type in the CVSE sent by the
        Home Agent to the Foreign Agent.

   Registration denied by the Home agent:

        ERROR-HA-1 140: Unsupported Vendor-ID or
        unable to interpret Vendor-CVSE-Type in the CVSE sent by the
        Mobile Node to the Home Agent.

        ERROR-HA-2 141: Unsupported Vendor-ID or
        unable to interpret Vendor-CVSE-Type in the CVSE sent by the
        Foreign Agent to the Home Agent.

3. Restrictions

   Multiple TLV's with the types CVSE-TYPE-NUMBER and NVSE-TYPE-NUMBER
   can be included in a message.  TLVs with types CVSE-TYPE-NUMBER and
   NVSE-TYPE-NUMBER can be placed anywhere after the fixed portion of
   the Mobile IP message.  These TLVs are expected to be protected by
   the corresponding authenticator as necessary.  Ordering of these
   TLV's should not be modified by intermediate nodes.

4. IANA Considerations

   The Critical Vendor/Organization Specific Extension (CVSE) as defined
   in Section 2.1 and Normal Vendor/Organization Specific Extension
   (NVSE) as defined in section 2.2 are proposed new extensions to the
   Mobile IP protocol, defined in RFC 2002 [1] and extended in RFC 2356
   [5].

   IANA has assigned a Type value of CVSE-TYPE-NUMBER for the Critical
   Vendor/Organization Specific Extension (CVSE), and a Type value of
   NVSE-TYPE-NUMBER for the Normal Vendor/Organization Specific
   Extension (NVSE).  The numbers CVSE-TYPE-NUMBER and NVSE-TYPE-NUMBER
   for the CVSE and the NVSE are taken from the numbering space defined
   for Mobile IP registration extensions [1].

   IANA has assigned new Foreign Agent Error Codes, ERROR-FA-1 and
   ERROR-FA-2 taken from the numbering space defined for Mobile IP
   Foreign Agent error codes [1].  IANA has also assigned new Home Agent
   Error Codes, ERROR-HA-1 and ERROR-HA-2 taken from the numbering space
   defined for Mobile IP Home Agent error codes [1].

5. Security Considerations

   This document assumes that the Mobile IP messages are authenticated
   using a method defined by the Mobile IP protocol.  This document does
   not impose any additional requirements on Mobile IP messages from a
   security point of view.  So this is not expected to be a security
   issue.

   Patil, Phil Roberts, Jouni Malinen, and Patrice Calhoun for their
