Abstract:   Research done on the use of IP multicast in mobility shows that it provides a mechanism for faster handoff support than Mobile IP. Coupled with its location independent addressing, multicasting is a viable alternative to support mobility in the Internet. This talk will look at the problems faced in mobility and on how multicasting can be used to improve mobility handoff. A new method of implementing IP multicast for mobility will also be presented during this talk. The author is proposing a scheme that looks at enabling a mobile node to initiate two way communications with a corresponding node on a shared multicast tree. This approach makes use as much of the existing Internet architecture as possible by extending the current wired multicast architecture to support mobile devices.
