Access of Mobile IP Users to Firewall Protected VPNs

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview The paper describes an architecture allowing Mobile IP hosts to access to a virtual private network that is protected by a firewall from the public Internet. The implementation based on adaptation of standard protocols (IPSec and Mobile IP) and initial performance results are discussed. In general, mobile communication has a strong need for security. A particular problem when using Mobile IP is the firewall traversal problem. In this case, a campus network or a Virtual Private Network (VPN) of an organization such as a university or a company is protected by a firewall from the global Internet. Only authorized users shall get access to that private network.
