TCP/IP goes mobile!
The complete guide to developing, using, and profiting from Mobile IP networks.
Mobile IP brings together two of the world's most powerful technology trends: the Internet and mobile communications. Whether you're planning to develop, deploy, utilize, or invest in Mobile IP networks, this book delivers the up-to-date information you need-with clarity and insight. Discover:
- What problems Mobile IP is designed to solve, and how it solves them
- How to use Mobile IP in real-world intranet and Internet-wide applications
- How to manage the security issues associated with Mobile IP
- Business models for delivering commercial Mobile IP services
- Which technical issues still need work-and possible solutions
In Mobile IP: The Internet Unplugged, the co-chair of the Mobile IP Working Group offers an insider's view of critical Mobile IP concepts like agent discovery, registration, and IP encapsulation. He presents detailed coverage of Mobile IP security, including the role of key management, encryption, authentication, integrity checking, and nonrepudiation. Finally, he presents a compelling vision of the future, where the benefits of standards-based mobile data are available everywhere.

The book provides both: an excellent overview for a beginner in this field in an easy understandable way and a complete reference for anybody who wants to know all the details about current solutions, problems and the ongoing work. The application of mobility is handled from different perspectives (Campus view, Internet-Wide view, Service Provider view) with increasing complexity concentrating on security issues. By the way: the security primer in this book is one of the best I have ever seen compared to many books dealing with security issues only. Also for anybody who is interested in Virtual Private Networks this book is a wonderfull supplement.

Understandable without double speak.
1 Jun 2000
Format:Paperback
This is indeed written in a clear understandable style that takes you from the problem to the proposed solution in an understandable progression. It is the only book I've found on the subject that I would recommend, and I've read them all. Working as an engineer on the system he briefly gives as an example, it is the book I recommend to all our engineers getting involved in Mobile IP for the first time. If you are looking for something to tell you what mobility in a network environment means, this is the one. Unlike some others, "no previous experience required" here.

Right on target
23 Sep 1998
Format:Paperback
If you want to understand mobile-IP this is the book for you. So many books these days seem to be written merely to demonstrate how smart the author is (compared to the hapless reader) -- not this book. The explanations are exceptionally clear. Especially strong on the security impacts of mobile-IP.

Mobile IP and a great IP network introduction
24 Dec 2002
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I found this book useful as my introduction to IP network communications (network layer). My background is not in networks but I was able to pick up this book and learn about; Routers, IP addresses and their assignments, Tunneling, Encapsulation, TCP/IP, Security issues, and Mobile IP to the extent that I understand the steps involved when a Mobile IP node moves from one link to another.
I have read many technical books/papers and most most of them clutter and disjoint ideas. Not this book. This book is methodical, orderly, clear and written in plain English. I think you will like it.
As an additional bonus, the book spends some time (10 pages) with an overview of TCP and explains why TCP works better over land lines than wireless media. There is a discussion of the problems processing real-time data over IP and proposes solutions.
I am an average reader and it took me approximately 30 hours to read the 300 pages over a period of five weeks. The book leaves out detail but references the IETF papers for the interested reader. The book had NO word "misspells" nor sentence "misspeaks". (I always notice those things.) There are great diagram sketches for example discussions.
The author was the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) co-chair of the Mobile IP working group and led the group to a deployable solution. The book explains that because he was involved since 1994 he understands the trade-offs and issues.
