Mondal (Infosys Technologies Limited) explains the structure of protocol messages in mobile IP, explores some issues that must be addressed before mobile IP can be widely adopted, and describes how five example IP implementations resolved these issues. He then outlines points to consider when preparing to manage mobile IP, integrate mobile and fixed IP, and develop a mobile IP project. The last section surveys possible applications of mobile IP for campus intranets, audio communication, portal services, vehicle monitoring systems, and roaming networks. The book is intended for system developers and researchers, and assumes familiarity with TCP/IP. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
