Mobile IP Issues and Their Potential Solutions: An Overview

A typical Internet protocol (IP)could not address the mobility of nodes and was only designed for fixed networks where the nodes were improbable to movefrom one location to other. An ever-increasing dependence on network computation makes the use of portable and handy devices,inevitable. Mobile IPprotocol architecture was developed tomeet such needs and support mobility. Mobile IPlets the roving nodes toestablish an uninterrupted connection towards internet without altering the IP address whilemoving to another network.However, Mobile IP goes through several issueslike ingress filtering, triangle routing, handoff and Quality of service problems etc. In this paper we discuss few of those with their possible solutions. That resolvesthese problems, reduce the unnecessary load from the network and enhance the efficiency. Some securitythreats on mobile and their solutions are also focused tosecure the communicationduring mobility.
