LOMO: Location Resolution of Mobile Hosts Using Internet Routing Structures

The DNS has performed the resolution for quasi-static hosts so far. However, mapping from the names of mobile hosts to their locators is increasingly important. We propose a new resolution architecture, LOMO, that keeps track of the lo-cators of mobile hosts as they are changing the points of at-tachment. LOMO takes a host-based approach and leverages current IP routing structures to route the resolution traffic in a scalable manner and to balance the workload of resolu-tion.
