Abstract
With the proliferation of Wireless technologies and business globalization, mobility of people and devices have become inevitable. The experience of mobile computing in different campuses or drop-in offices also faces challenges of starting up applications and tools, synchronizing filesystems, maintaining one's desktop environment or even finding a printer location or network services. In this document, we will discuss different types of mobility, issues with mobility, and why it is important to consider the mobility issues. Finally, this document discusses a network layer solution for IP mobility for continuous connectivity. It also sheds light on future directions of research on mobility that might be interesting for Sun Microsystems.
