Abstract
Current general purpose mobility solutions like Mobile-IP involve
multiple router-crossings even when the mobile host moves within
an intranet from one subnet of a router to another. An environment
consisting of a large number of mobile hosts would congest the router
causing hosts to experience high latency and jitter. This paper presents
a mechanism to eliminate multiple router-crossings in a mobile intranet,
which reduces the load on the routers and the hand-off and data latency
at the mobile hosts.
