An increasing amount of Internet users take advantage of wireless
technology when accessing the Internet. This gives great benefits,
but also has the drawback that connections are lost whenever a user
moves to a new network. Mobile IP provides an efficient and scalable
mechanism to allow users to seamlessly roam among wireless networks.
Using Mobile IP, applications such as Internet telephony, media
streaming and virtual private networking can be supported without
service interruption when users move across network boundaries.
The Interpeak Mobile IP solution includes support for full Mobile
Node, Home Agent and Foreign Agent functionality, which is also
available as separate products. It can be used with the entire range
of industry-standard RTOSs supported by Interpeak's IPNET TCP/IP
stack, such as INTEGRITY, OSE, VxWorks, Nucleus, and ITRON. It also
supports all distributions of the Linux operating system with version
2.4 or 2.6 kernels.
Since the IPv6 versions of the Mobile IP protocols are completely
redesigned to leverage on IPv6 functionality, Interpeak currently
provides a separate IPv6 Mobile Node product, with IPv6 Home Agent
and IPv6 Correspondent Node on the roadmap.
The Interpeak Mobile IP products are delivered in ANSI compliant
C source code, with ready-to-run RTOS integration containing makefiles
etc.
