Hi, During the call today, there was interest expressed in having a discussion on the differences between AERO and Mobile IP. In the interest of getting the discussion going, I will just say the following for now: - the mobility archetype for Mobile IP is that of a mobile host that wanders away from its home link and tells a home agent on its home link where it has moved to - the mobility archetype for AERO is that of a mobile router that stays connected to its home link even if it changes between access link technologies The latter model is supported through the abstraction of an NBMA tunnel virtual link that spans the mobile node's home network. IMHO, it is a cleaner and more natural architecture that makes everything else easier. Comments? Questions? Thanks - Fred [email protected]
