A Fast Inter-Domain Mobility Scheme for Reducing the Transient Data Loss
Faizan Gul Awan, M. Ali Iqbal, M. Abdul Qadir and Iftikhar Ahmad

Abstract: Mobility management schemes such as Mobile IP rely on handling the transient data after the Mobile Node (MN) moves into a new domain. In this way the transient data arriving at the old location will get dropped and thus result in loss of important data. We introduce the idea of Boundary Access Point in conjunction with the buffering capability at the Home/Foreign Agent or the gateway router. This helps in transferring the transient data to the new location in a minimum amount of time in addition to reducing the data loss. The key idea is to use the access points present at the boundaries of an administrative domain that we call Boundary Access Points to monitor the mobile device movement. Buffering helps in preserving the incoming data for the duration when the MN cannot receive it.
