VIP: Virtual Interface Prototype for mobile communication

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

With the rapid increase of wireless technologies and ubiquitous mobile computing devices, it is becoming a pressing need for developing new functionalities to support seamless handoff. However, developing and deploying new networking infrastructure is often a long and enduring process. In this paper, we present VIP (Virtual Interface Prototype) a simple and efficient micro-mobility solution. The architecture requires very few changes to existing protocol stacks. In particular, no changes to non-mobile hosts are required. Moreover, the protocol adds no overhead to normal IP routing and delivery.
