Mobile IPv4 Release Notes Product Overview Product Overview IP Mobility Support for IPv4 defines a protocol that allows transparent routing of IP datagrams to a Mobile Node (MN) as it roams the public Internet. Each Mobile Node is identified by its home address, regardless of its current point of attachment to the Internet. While situated away from its home, a Mobile Node is also associated with a Care-of Address (COA) which provides information about its current point of attachment to the Internet.
