Mobile IP - Deployment After a Decade

Overview It has been over a decade since Mobility support for IPv4 was proposed and standardized by the IETF. The challenges of maintaining active sessions for mobile users without modifying existing correspondent hosts or the scalable nature of Internet routing were met by associating separate IP addresses for routing and endpoint identification. This approach resulted in a per-packet overhead of a certain number of header bytes as well as suboptimal routing - a packet destined for a mobile user needed to always visit the home network before being sent to the actual location. Optimizations for routing as well as header compression techniques were proposed and standardized subsequently.

VoIP primer: How it works - and what the jargon means
