What is Mobile IP
Definition:
Mobile IP is a standard communication protocol, defined to
allow mobile device users to move from one IP network to
another while maintaining their permanent IP address [2]
Mobile IP Architecture
Correspondent node (CN)
Home Agent (HA)
Remote Agent (RA)
Mobile node (MN)
Entities in Mobile IP



Mobile Node (MN) - A Node moving to different network, with permanent Home Address.
Home Agent (HA) - A router on a mobile node's home network which tunnels datagrams for delivery to the mobile
node when it is away from home, and maintains current location information for the mobile node.
Home Address - The static fixed IP Address allocated to a mobile node by Home Agent.
Home Network - A network, having a network prefix/network id.matching that of a mobile node's home address
Foriegn Network - A network other than a Mobile node’s home network.
Foreign Agent - Router in foreign network that provides CoA and tunneling with HA and forward the packets to MN.
Care-of Address - Termination point of a tunnel toward a MN in the foreign netwrok.
Mobility Binding - The association of a home address with a care-of address (CoA).
Correspondent Node (CN) - A peer node with which a Mobile node is communicating.
Why Mobile IP ?
CN is successfully communicating with MN via HA
Correspondent node (CN)
Mobile node (MN)
Packets for MN are dropped by the
Home Agent as Mobile node is not
present in its network
Router
Home Agent (HA)
Mobile Node moves to remote network
Remote Agent (RA)
Why Mobile IP (Cont.)

Trends: People’s perspective of looking at internet has changed from ages,
with the introduction of Mobility.
Increase in the variety of mobile devices, such as PDA’s, laptops and
cellular phones, more and more internet services are accessible to
moving users with the widely deployed wireless networks.

Need:

Gene X: 3G Networks, Mobile IPV6
How Mobile IP works
Registration
1.
FA
Registration Request by MN to FA
2.
FA Relays Registration request to HA

HA sends Registration reply to FA

Registration message format
Register request
Register response
Tunneling in Mobile IP
CN sends packets to HA
Home Agent (HA)
Correspondent node (CN)
IP-in-IP or GRE tunnel
between HA and FA
HA tunnels the
Packet and sends to FA
MN moves to FA
Foreign Agent(FA)
FA extracts original
Packet and sends to the MN
Mobile Node (MN)
Tunneling in Mobile IP(Cont.)

When CN sends the data to MN, it uses the original address of the MN, so the
packet goes to HA.

From the mobility binding HA encapsulates the packet (IP-in-IP or GRE) and
sends to CoA.

The FA de-capsulate the packet and extracts the original packet that was sent
by the CN.

The FA then sends this packet to the MN using the Home address destination.

The reverse route from MN to CN may or may not follow this path.
Triangle routing – Reply packets are sent directly to CN from MN
Reverse Tunneling – Reply packet are tunneled to HA by FA.
Mobile IP in Action
CN
is successfully
communicating
with MN via HA
Mobility
Binding
table
Home Address
A
Mobile node (MN)
Correspondent node (CN)
Care-of-Address
B
HA Looks binding table
Home Address = A
Home Agent (HA)
1. MN sends Registration request with its new CoA
2. Mobile binding created for MN with new CoA
3. MN sends Registration response, after validating request and
updating binding table
Remote Agent (RA)
4. Packets sent to MN from CN are tunneled to RA using binding table
CoA = B
Mobile Node moves to remote network
Security in Mobile IP



Required as Mobile Nodes are often in unprotected remote network
Authenticity and Integrity of Registration messages using
Authentication (e.g. HMAC-MD5).
Replay attack protection for Registration messages using sequence
number.
Security Issues in Mobile IP

Solution
Optional authentication between MN and FA IPv4

Location Privacy
IPv4,IPv6 None
Confidentiality for Data Packets

Mobile IP in IPv6

Conceptually same as MIPv4

Inbuilt support using specific extensions for mobile IP

Route optimization using new type of routing header

“Triangle routing” problem solved using new destination header option

Mobility Header to exchange binding messages ( e.g. Registration)

Better security using IPSec extensions for binding messages
Conclusion

Mobile IP plays important role in future with advanced mobile computing
devices ( 3G phones, Wi-Fi and WiMAX nodes etc)

Mobility vs. security will always be a trade off

Security is provided with IPSec and AAA services

Problem of QoS with Mobile IP need to be addressed

Standard is driven by IETF , which helps in faster deployment without
much interoperability issues.
