UPMT per-application mobility management solution: a demo for linux and android terminals

In this work we describe the demo of UPMT - Universal Per-application Mobility management using Tunnels. UPMT is a per-application mobility management solution highly suitable for "ABC" (Always Best Connected) mobility scenarios since it provides mechanisms to fulfill different and independent application requirements as a mobile user roams across different access network infrastructures and Service Providers. Thanks to the tunneling approach, the UPMT solution works as an overlay over current Internet and it does not require any enhancement of the networking infrastructure. With this demo we show how the Linux and Android implementations can choose the best network interface among all available ones independently for each active application, set handover policies and react to IP reconfigurations. The UPMT solution foresees a mobility management node, called Anchor Node. The Anchor Node includes a tool that perform server side monitoring of connected Mobile Hosts and tunnels and it will be shown in the demo.
