Abstract
This paper studies Mobile IP performance during handoffs. We have conducted experiments with TCP and mobile IP to observe the effect of handoff on transmission reliability. This paper shows that although Mobile IP may be appropriate for current applications, its long handoff periods make it unsuitable for the future.
