....with respect to where the functionality is implemented (i.e. in the kernel or outside) and what analysis has been done using the implementations. 8. 1 Linux The first complete version of Mobile IP for the linux operating system was developed at the State University of New York at Binghamton[DGL95] Versions of this software have been released throughout 1995 and 1996. The current version is compatible with IETF draft version 16. The implementation uses daemon processes to handle the mobility support, and uses built in tunnelling support for handling the packet forwarding. Two daemons are ....

....lost, TCP interprets the cause as congestion, and immediately backs off. When a mobile host changes network attachments, there are packets lost, and this back off mechanism kicks in. Unfortunately, this results in a needlessly small amount of the bandwidth getting used when communication resumes [DGL95] 8.2 University of Stockholm The University of Stockholm and Anders Klements have produced a mobile IP implementation compatible with IETF draft version 11. Although the implementation is in SUN OS 3.1.4, it has been designed with portability in mind and has subsequently been updated and ....

....Our experimental testbed consisted of a mobile host, two foreign agents and a home agent deployed in a normal office environment as shown in figure 7. The PCs (486s and Pentiums) used for these tests were running Linux (version 2.0. 30) and the Mobile IP v1.0 developed at the University of New York [4]. We have chosen this implementation as it complies with the IETF Mobile IP draft. Tcpdump was used to observe the data transmission during the Mobile IP handoff. The home and foreign agents and the corresponding host were all connected through fixed LANs (Ethernet 10 Mbps) The mobile host was ....

....7. Implementation Issues Currently JLocator is used internally by Finsiel to track company assets. It has been installed in several sites and it controls several thousand of hosts. Because JLocator s location algorithm is based on the MAC address, JLocator can also keep track of: mobile hosts [5] [6] that are dynamically attached detached to from the network; hosts that implement single link multi homing; hosts that dynamically change IP address (for instance using the DHCP [12] protocol) The only drawback of this design choice is the assumption that the host MAC address never ....

....servers. 7 Final Remarks Currently JLocator is used internally by Finsiel to track company assets. It has been installed in several sites and it controls several thousand of hosts. Because JLocator s location algorithm is based on the MAC address, JLocator can also keep track of mobile hosts [5] [6] and of hosts that dynamically get their IP address from a server (for instance using the DHCP [12] protocol) The first JLocator prototype was based on JMAPI [17] Sun s network management API. However the current version is JMAPI free because: JMAPI management architecture was overly ....
