  Mobile IP - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mobile IP is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard communications protocol that is designed to allow mobile device users to move from one network to another while maintaining their permanent IP address.
Mobile IP is described in IETF RFC 3344 (which obsoletes RFC 3220 and RFC 2002).
Mobile IP is most often found in wireless WAN environments where users need to carry their mobile devices across multiple LANs with different IP addresses.

 A Survey on Mobile IP
The registration message set by the mobile node to its home agent could either be relayed by its foreign agent, or directly sent from the mobile node, depending on whether or not the mobile node is able to dynamically acquire a transient IP address, which plays a role as the care-of address.
For the case of the mobile node not having a foreign agent because it itself has a transient address, the datagram is directly and forwarded intact to the mobile node from the home agent without going through the intermediate step.
Therefore, the path from the mobile node to the correspondent node is shorter than the path from the correspondent node to the mobile node.

When the mobile node shares a security association with its home AAA server, however, it is possible to use that security association to create derivative security associations between the mobile node and its home agent, and again between the mobile node and the foreign agent currently offering connectivity to the mobile node.
This document defines a Mobile IPv4 Registration Revocation mechanism whereby either mobility agent participating in providing Mobile IP services to the same mobile node can notify the other mobility agent (or co-located mobile node) of the termination of either a single, or multiple mobility bindings, and for this notification to be acknowledged.
Mobile IP [1] agents are being deployed in enterprise networks, to enable mobile users with network mobility across wired and wireless LANs while roaming inside the enterprise firewall.

 Mobile IP
Agent Discovery is the method by which a mobile node determines whether it is currently connected to its home network or to a foreign network, and by which a mobile node can detect when it has moved from one network to another.
Mobile IP extends ICMP Router Discovery as its primary mechanism for Agent Discovery.

 Mobile IP
Mobile IP is most useful in environments where mobility is desired and the traditional land line dial-in model or DHCP do not provide adequate solutions for the needs of the users.
Since Mobile IP requires support on the host device, it is necessary that each mobile node is appropriately configured for the desired Mobile IP service.
To enable Mobile IP services on your network, you need to determine not only which home agents will facilitate the tunneling for selected IP address, but also where these devices or hosts will be allowed to roam.

 Tutorial: Mobile IP
When randomness is used, Mobile IP defines a method that protects both the registration request and reply from replay, and calls for 32 bits of randomness in the identification field.
This asymmetry is captured by the term triangle routing, where a single leg of the triangle goes from the mobile node to the correspondent node, and the home agent forms the third vertex controlling the path taken by data from the correspondent node to the mobile node.
Mobile IP is being used to construct vertical handoffs between dissimilar media (for example, infrared, radio LANs, wide-area cellular, and satellite), depending upon error rates and bandwidth availability.

Mobile IP does dictate the use of reverse tunnels in the context of multicast datagram routing and mobile routers.
The mobile node follows the error checking guidelines in [1], and depending on the reply code, MAY try modifying the registration request (for example, by eliminating the request for alternate forms of encapsulation or delivery style), and issuing a new registration.
Mobile nodes using a foreign agent care-of address MAY have their broadcast and multicast datagrams reverse-tunneled by the foreign agent.

 Mobile IP - a Whatis.com definition   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Defined in Request for Comments (RFC) 2002, Mobile IP is an enhancement of the Internet Protocol (IP) that adds mechanisms for forwarding Internet traffic to mobile devices (known as mobile nodes) when they are connecting through other than their home network.
All the variations of Mobile IP assign each mobile node a permanent home address on its home network and a care-of address that identifies the current location of the device within a network and its subnets.
Enhancements to the Mobile IP standard, such as Mobile IPv6 and Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6), were developed to advance mobile communications by making the processes involved less cumbersome.

 Embedded.com - Mobile IP   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Mobile IP is designed around the idea of presenting applications with a consistent virtual network that is in a constant place in the addressing hierarchy though the reality may be that the user has wandered far from that physical place.
The fact that packets are sent from the mobile node directly to their destination works very nicely as far as routing is concerned, but a firewall that detects a packet originating from within its network that has a return address from somewhere else may become suspicious.
Mobile IP is an example of the adaptation that IP has undergone over this time period.

 RFC 2344 (rfc2344) - Reverse Tunneling for Mobile IP
Abstract Mobile IP uses tunneling from the home agent to the mobile node's care-of address, but rarely in the reverse direction.
The mobile node follows the error checking guidelines in [1], and depending on the reply code, MAY try modifying the registration request (for example, by eliminating the request for alternate forms of encapsulation), and issuing a new registration.
IP Destination Address The address of the agent as learned from the IP source address of the agent's most recent registration reply.

 TCP / IP Suite Mobile IP - NARP | SCSP | NHRP | OSPF | TRIP | MobileIP | RUDP | TALI | Van Jacobson | XOT
The function of TRIP (Telephony Routing over IP) is to advertise the reachability of telephony destinations, attributes associated with the destinations, as well as the attributes of the path towards those destinations.
The IP packet consists of the IP source and destination addresses, followed by the UDP source and destination ports, followed by the Mobile IP fields.
Mobile IP packets can be either registration request or registration reply.

 Introduction to Mobile IP
Therefore, when a corespondent host (CH) tries to send a packet to a mobile node (MN), that packet is routed to the MN’s home network, independently of the current attachment of that MN (this is because CHs do not have any knowledge of mobility).
Encapsulation is the method used by the HA to deliver information to the MN putting an extra IP header on top of the packet and tunnelling that packet to the MN (when it's on a foreign network).
Mobile nodes keep track of that Lifetime and if it expires, it sends an Agent Solicitation (asking for a new Agent Advertisement) and it presumes that it has been moved.

 Internet Telephony Special Focus
IP addressing and routing in networks are fixed at locations, so a device on a network is reachable because it has an address on the network.
Mobile IP was created to enable users to retain the same IP address while traveling to a different network, thus ensuring that a roaming individual could continue communications without dropping the sessions or connection.
Mobile IP provides two options for obtaining a Care-of Address: The Mobile Node can procure it from a Foreign Agent or, alternatively it may directly acquire a collocated Care-of Address, which actually represents its current position on the foreign network.

 What is Mobile IP? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
A standard that allows users with mobile devices whose IP addresses are associated with one network to stay connected when moving to a network with a different IP address.
When a user leaves the network with which his device is associated (home network) and enters the domain of a foreign network, the foreign network uses the Mobile IP protocol to inform the home network of a care-of address to which all packets for the user's device should be sent.

 Mobile IP Enables WLAN Roaming
With multiple subnets, however, mobile users must be able to seamlessly roam from one subnet to another while traversing a facility.
The home address enables the mobile node to continually receive data relative to its home network, through the use of a network node called the home agent.
Whenever the user is not attached to the home network, the home agent receives all the packets sent to the mobile user and arranges to deliver them to the mobile user's current point of attachment, which is its care-of address.
