Abstract

Mobile nodes represent a particular challenge for the Internet architecture. In this document, we describe the basic architectural problem posed by mobile nodes and review solutions which have been proposed to solve it. The solutions represent either widely deployed proprietary solutions, Internet standards in varying stages of deployment, or solutions that are currently being examined for possible standardization and deployment. Based on these, we propose an Internet mobility management architecture made up of two components: a host-based global mobility management component for handling movements across large areas of network topology and a network-based local mobility management component for handling movements across smaller topological regions.
