What is Mobile IP? IETF standard protocol Designed to allow mobile users to move from one network to another while maintaining their permanent IP address. Described in IETF RFC 3344 Mobility, Routing and Addressing Mobile Computing Refers to a system that allows computers to move from one location to another The IP addressing scheme makes mobility difficult The host’s address must change Routers must propagate a host-specific route across the entire Internet Neither alternative works well Mobility, Routing and Addressing Changing an address breaks all existing transport-layer connections and may require restarting some network services If the host contacts a server that uses reverse DNS lookup to authenticate, an additional change to DNS may be required A host-specific routing approach cannot scale because communicating and storing a route for each host requires excessive bandwidth and memory Mobile IP Characteristics IETF devised a technology to permit IP mobility Officially named IP Mobility Support Popularly called: Mobile IP Characteristics General Characteristics include: Transparency Mobility is transparent to applications and transport layer protocols A TCP connection can survive a change in location provided the connection is not used during transition Interoperability With IPv4 A host using mobile IP can interoperate with stationary hosts that run conventional IPv4 software Mobile IP Characteristics Scalability The solution permits mobility across the Internet Security Mobil
