Locating in Mobile IP of Mobile Hosts

Internetworking protocols such as IP currently do not allow “mobile hosts” to interoperate easily or conveniently with other hosts on the network. The Mobile IP Working Group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has been working over the past few years to develop standard protocols to support mobile hosts operating in the Internet. Locating in mobile Internet of mobile hosts is an important extension of this protocol. The infrastructure and the “Agent Discovery” of the Mobile IP protocol are described and the Cellular Mobile Internet is defined. Finally a new method named “Addresses Sliding Window” for locating of mobile hosts is presented.
