What is mobility?
 spectrum of mobility, from the network perspective:
no mobility
mobile user, using
same access point
high mobility
mobile user,
connecting/
disconnecting
from network
using DHCP.
mobile user, passing
through multiple
access point while
maintaining ongoing
connections (like cell
phone)

Mobility: Vocabulary
Home network: permanent
“home” of mobile
(e.g., 128.119.40/24)
Permanent address:
address in home
network, can always be
used to reach mobile
e.g., 128.119.40.186
Home agent: entity that will
perform mobility functions on
behalf of mobile, when mobile
is remote

Mobility: more vocabulary
Permanent address: remains
constant (e.g., 128.119.40.186)
Visited network: network
in which mobile currently
resides (e.g., 79.129.13/24)
Care-of-address: address
in visited network.
(e.g., 79.129.13.2)
wide area

Correspondent: wants
to communicate with
mobile
Foreign agent: entity
in visited network
that performs
mobility functions on
behalf of mobile.

How do you contact a mobile friend:
Consider friend frequently changing
addresses, how do you find her?
I wonder where
Alice moved to?
 search all phone
books?
 call her parents?
 expect her to let you
know where he/she is?
Network Layer

Mobility: approaches
 Let routing handle it: routers advertise permanent
address of mobile-nodes-in-residence via usual
routing table exchange.
 routing tables indicate where each mobile located
 no changes to end-systems
 Let end-systems handle it:
 indirect routing: communication from
correspondent to mobile goes through home
agent, then forwarded to remote
 direct routing: correspondent gets foreign
address of mobile, sends directly to mobile

End result:

Indirect Routing: comments
 Mobile uses two addresses:
permanent address: used by correspondent (hence
mobile location is transparent to correspondent)
 care-of-address: used by home agent to forward
datagrams to mobile
 foreign agent functions may be done by mobile itself
 triangle routing: correspondent-home-networkmobile
 inefficient when
correspondent, mobile
are in same network


Forwarding datagrams to remote mobile

agent: a packet within a packet

Care-of address:

correspondent
Network Layer 4-12
Indirect Routing: moving between networks
 suppose mobile user moves to another
network
registers with new foreign agent
 new foreign agent registers with home agent
 home agent update care-of-address for mobile
 packets continue to be forwarded to mobile (but
with new care-of-address)

 Mobility, changing foreign networks
transparent: on going connections can be
maintained!

Mobility via Direct Routing: comments
 overcome triangle routing problem
 non-transparent to correspondent:
correspondent must get care-of-address
from home agent

What happens if mobile changes networks?
Network Layer 4-15
Mobile IP
 RFC 3220
 has many features we’ve seen:
 home agents, foreign agents, foreign-agent
registration, care-of-addresses, encapsulation
(packet-within-a-packet)
 three components to standard:
 agent discovery
 registration with home agent
 indirect routing of datagrams
Network Layer 4-16
Mobile IP: agent discovery

service by broadcasting ICMP messages (typefield = 9)

Discussion Questions
 TRUE or FALSE:
 When a host joins a multicast group, it must change its
IP address to be that of the multicast group it is joining.
 In RPF, a node will receive multiple copies of the same
packet.
 In RPF, a node may forward multiple copies of a packet
over the same outgoing link.
 How can multicast apps learn the identities of the
hosts that are participating in a multicast group?
 How can the application be certain that only
authorized recipients get the multicast data?
 If 1000 multicast groups each choose a multicast
group address at random, how likely is it that
there will be conflicts?
