Abstract:
Mobile Internet Protocol (MIP) is a standard protocol that allows users to maintain nonstop connectivity with their home IP addresses regardless of physical movement. In this paper, we give an overview of Mobile IP: terminology, functionality, and operation. Comprehensive surveys on Mobile IP issues are discussed: Quality of Service (QOS), Multicast, Security, Voice, and TCP over Mobile IP. The Mobile IPv6 basic concept is also explained. Finally, IP-based mobility and Mobile IP implementations are reviewed.
