What is Mobile IP

Chapter 34
Handbook of Research on Mobility and Computing: Evolving Technologies and Ubiquitous Impacts
is an Network-level Mobility Management. An inherited model from cellular network (registration dependency and stream forwarding by relay entities) is adapted to the concept of a Home in Mobile IP. Thus, a Home Agent (HA) is responsible for managing mobile nodes anchored to their Home Networks (HN).

Abstract
Modern life makes people internet-dependents. They want to move connected and care for always getting the best options for connectivity, hoping between providers. Freedom for choosing providers and the business options which these exchanges can offer are the motivations for this chapter. After pointing out some characteristics which make the basics of the current handover technologies, we describe an information infrastructure, based on context and ontologies which can be used to foster an intelligent, efficient and profitable scenario for managing handovers in the Next Generation Networks. Some experiments are described and the potential of using these technologies are evaluated.
