Seamless Mobility: Chicken, Egg, or Herring?
Doesn’t always work:
- packet transmission while MH moving breaks connection
Not supported by OS:
- winsock breaks connections on close
Often isn’t needed:
- connectionless protocols ala NFS
- short-lived protocols ala http
Link layer provides it anyway!
- E.g. metricom’s network, CMU’s wavelan, etc.
