This is not even close to correct. With Mobile IP, the Home Address that higher layers are bound to does NOT change, regardless of how a host is connected. Mobile IPv4 and Mobile IPv6 operate somewhat differently, but this much is true of both. Applications and transport protocols do not see any address changes. The movement detection portion of the Mobile IP code notices changes in connectivity (new Care-of Addresses) and updates the Home Agent's binding cache entry. In Mobile IPv6, with route optimization, it may also update the correspondent node's binding. Either way, there are no errors reading or writing sockets. _______________________________________________ p2p-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers
