Abstract

Mobility support has been on the list of most expected features of future Internet for a long period. Both Internet users and content providers look forward to the deployment of Internet mobility support, but none of proposed solutions has been adopted in large scale due to various impediments. In order to assist future researches on this urgent topic, we discuss the origin and fundamental requirement of Internet mobility issues and review several methods for mobility support. A few impediments overlooked by existing solutions are discussed as well. Finally, several state-of-the-art researches and solutions are reviewed, appended with brief analysis of cellular data network.
