Summary:Mobile IP enables a wireless network node to move freely from one
point of connection to the Internet to another point, without causing
disruption of established TCP end-to-end connectivity. Our model for
extending Mobile IP relies on the existence of servers that are capable
of performing accounting, authentication, and authorization (AAA)
services. The model is known to be reasonable, because many dial-up
services in the Internet today already rely on an AAA service called
RADIUS. We capitalize on the experience of others in today's Internet to
combine Mobile IP with AAA services to provide the kind of mobility
infrastructure that meets the emerging needs of cellular telephones for
mobile data, and eventually Voice over IP, services to a large
population of mobile telephone users. Mobile IP will increase the
deployment of wireless data applications. Using the AAA extensions will
create a much easier path towards ubiquitous availability of wireless
service across the domain boundaries of the operators for many different
wireless access services
