Additional Description

Abstract

The goal of this project is to investigate techniques to optimize the datagram routing from a correspondent node to a mobile node in IP networks when mobility is supported. Without Route Optimization, all datagrams destined to a mobile node are routed through that mobile node's home agent, whch then tunnels each datagram to the mobile node's current location. The protocol extensions described here provide a means for correspondent nodes that implement them to cache the binding of a mobile node and then to tunnel their own datagrams for the mobile node directly to that location, bypassing the possibly lengthy route for each datagram to and from the mobile node's home agent. Extensions are also provided to allow datagrams in flight when a mobile node moves, and datagrams sent based on an out-of-date cached binding, to be forwarded directly to the mobile node's new binding.
