LOMO: location resolution of mobile hosts using internet routing structures

The DNS has performed the resolution for quasi-static hosts so far. However, mapping from the names of mobile hosts to their locators is increasingly important. We propose a new resolution architecture, LOMO, that keeps track of the locators of mobile hosts as they are changing the points of attachment. LOMO takes a host-based approach and leverages current IP routing structures to route the resolution traffic in a scalable manner and to balance the workload of resolution.
