Hi, may I add a question? Thanks.
What's the relationship of IP roaming with mobile IP and DHCP?
According to your introduction, it seems that IP roaming is very alike to
DHCP, except that the server is automatically detected other than
configured? Is my understanding right?
And I think mobile IP may provide a better and all in one solution than this
tech.
Regards!
