IP Mobility Support for IPv4

This document specifies protocol enhancements that allow transparent routing of IP datagrams to mobile nodes in the Internet. Each mobile node is always identified by its home address, regardless of its current point of attachment to the Internet. While situated away from its home, a mobile node is also associated with a care-of address, which provides information about its current point of attachment to the Internet. The protocol provides for registering the care-of address with a home agent. The home agent sends datagrams destined for the mobile node through a tunnel to the care- of address. After arriving at the end of the tunnel, each datagram is then delivered to the mobile node.

A survey of mobility management in next-generation all-IP-based wireless systems (2004, background): “Mobile IP [ 8 ] is proposed to solve the problem of node mobility by redirecting packets for the mobile node to its current location.”
Integration of 802.11 and third-generation wireless data networks (2003, methodology): “The IOTA system implements a very scalable and efficient Mobile-IP agent functionality [14], which supports the roles of both Home and Foreign Agents (HA, FA).”

Mobility management for all-IP mobile networks: mobile IPv6 vs. proxy mobile IPv6 (2008, background): “As in MIPv4 [ 2 ], the bidirectional tunnel between the LMA and MAG is typically a shared tunnel, and can be employed for routing traffic streams for different MNs attached to the same MAG.”
DDoS attacks and defense mechanisms: classification and state-of-the-art (2004, methodology): “This mechanism can drastically reduce the DoS attack by IP spoofing if all domains use it. Sometimes legitimate traffic can be discarded by an ingress filtering when Mobile IP [ 40 ] is used to attach a mobile node to a foreign network.”
The Internet of Things: A survey (2010, background): “…this purpose it is important to note that higher scalability can be achieved by solutions based on the utilization of a home agent (like Mobile IP [67]), rather than by solutions based on home location registers (HLR) and visitor location registers (VLR), which are widely used in cellular…”
