1. Mobile IP (MIP)
● Daniel Ayvar
● Joseph Liddell
● Jimmie Shepherd
● Daniel Roldan
2. Mobile IP Technical Definition
● Protocol designed to allow mobile devices to be able to move from networks
and still keep its permanent ip address
3. Life without Mobile IP
● Let’s say you’re on a call with
your boss and walking down the
street
● All of a sudden you are
disconnected!
● Now you have to re-dial, how
annoying.
4. Life without Mobile IP
● According to www.statista.com,
4.68 billion people have a cellular
device in 2019
● So mobile IP is very important for
everyone!
5. What is Mobile IP ?
● Mobile IP is what is responsible for a
device to be able to travel and still
retain its service
6. What is Mobile IP ?
● Real world example: Me and my
phone take a trip from Chicago to
New York
7. What is Mobile IP ?
● My phone switches from tower to
tower, but thanks to mobile IP I am
still able to have service in New
York.
8. Mobile IP Terminology
Mobile Node/ Mobile device
A device like a cell phone, laptop or router, whose point of location and
attachment may change. It is assigned a permanent IP address where all the
packets will be sent.
9. Mobile IP Terminology
Home Network
The subnet which contains the home address of the mobile node and the home
agent. This is the mobile node original point of attachment.
10. Mobile IP Terminology
Home Agent
Responsible for forwarding packets to the mobile node. This router keeps the
original IP address information for the mobile node. It also intercepts packets for
the mobile node when the node is on a foreign network.
11. Mobile IP Terminology
Foreign Network
Any Network other than the mobile node home network that a mobile node
attaches itself to.
12. Mobile IP Terminology
Foreign Agent
A router used on the foreign network that is configured for the Mobile IP. It
contains care of address for the mobile nodes.
13. Mobile IP Terminology
Care of Address
The mobile node uses this address for communication when away from the
home network. It is a temporary address that allows packets to be sent to the
mobile node.
168.126.127.12
14. Mobile IP Steps
When first connected to the a network, a
permanent IP address is assigned to the Mobile
device.
That network is then considered as the Mobile
device's home network
At this point, packets are routed directly to the
mobile node
Mobile
Permanent IP:
189.160.10.20
15. Mobile IP Steps
When transferring between networks,
a home agent is created in the home
network to intercept all traffic
directed toward the mobile node
In the new network (or foreign
network) a foreign agent is assigned
to the mobile node
Home Agent
Mobile
Permanent IP:
189.160.10.20
Foreign Agent
16. Mobile IP Steps
The foreign network then updates
the home network on its current
location.
The foreign agent is assigned and
establishes a care-of address that
routes packets to the mobile node

Care-of Address

Mobile
Permanent IP:
189.160.10.20
17. Mobile IP Steps
Packets sent to the mobile node
are intercepted by the home
agent and encapsulated with the
care-of address in the header
The packet is forwarded to the
foreign agent. It's then
decapsulated and the original
packet is forwarded to the mobile
node

18. Mobile IP Steps
When the mobile node sends a
packet, it doesn't need to send
the packet through home
network. Instead, it sends it
straight to the destination Foreign

19. Mobile IP Steps
Smooth Handoff
When transferring between
foreign networks, the current
foreign agent updates the
former agent temporary until
all necessary devices are
updated with the new care-of
address
