Abstract

In recent years; we have witnessed a tremendous growth of wireless networks as well as the emergence of various kinds of devices (Personal Digital Assistants; handhelds; digital cellular phones) with different capabilities and processing power [Perkins; 1998]. These technological changes have paved the way for mobile networking and wireless Internet applications. In mobile networking; computing activities are not disrupted when the user changes the computer’s point of attachment to the network (e.g. to the Internet). All the needed reconnection occurs automatically and non-interactively [Perkins; 1998]. Providing mobile computing capabilities enables users to access the Internet services anytime; anywhere. In this context; there is increasing demand from end-users to support continuous connectivity and uninterrupted service of their Internet applications as they move about across different networking environments.
