Describe Mobile IP.

What will be an ideal response?


Mobile IP provides a mechanism within the TCP/IP protocol to better support mobile computing.  With Mobile IP, computers are given a home address, which is a static IP number on their home network. The computer also has a home agent, which is a forwarding mechanism that keeps track of where the mobile computer is located. When the computer roams to another network (called the foreign network) a foreign agent provides routing services to the mobile computer. The foreign agent assigns the mobile computer a new-yet temporary-IP number. This new IP number is known as the care-of address. The computer then registers the care-of address with its home agent.
