Abstract :
Today, mobility of portable computers and workstations is not transparent to users. They adjust to reduced services as long as they have no connection to a supporting infrastructure. The goal of the Walkstation project is to realize a user transparent mobile IP router (MINT) for wireless links (infrared and radio) operating at 1-10 Mbit/sec. For the study of user behavior and system characteristics a campus wide testbed (ERIC) with 50-100 stations is planned to demonstrate the new solutions found in the Walkstation II project.<>
