Recently, we have been assisting in a shift in IP mobility protocol design, mostly focusing on
solutions that relocate mobility procedures from the mobile device to network components.
This new approach, known as Network-Based Localized Mobility Management (NetLMM),
allows conventional IP devices (for example, devices running standard protocol stacks) to
roam freely across wireless stations belonging to the same local domain. This property is
appealing from the operator's viewpoint because it allows service providers to enable …
