End-to-End Architectures for the Internet Host Mobility: An Overview

Abstract: With the emergence of mobile portable computing devices and establishment of Internet as a swift global communication medium, the need for mobility support on Internet is becoming louder and louder. In recent years a lot of effort has been made towards achieving mobility on Internet. This effort has resulted in two different types of architectures: Network-layer based architecture and End-to-End architecture. This paper explores end-to-end architectures and compares it with its counterpart
