Mobile IP, Present State and Future (Mondal, A.S.; 2003) [Book review]

The book provides an in-depth study of present state and future of Mobile IP, a concept and protocol that is a candidate building block of future IP-based mobility-enabled networks. This book is unique in that it provides an analysis of different aspects that need to be accounted for when considering Mobile IP. The reader will learn from the book the functions required to support mobility, and which of these can be achieved with Mobile IP and which have to be provided by other means. The author addresses numerous dependencies between Mobile IP and other protocol architectures that need to be in place, and provides guidance on how to tackle interworking. This is particularly important since individual solutions usually address the single problems for which they are devised. Building a complete system appears both difficult and challenging.
