Mobile IP Comparison
Comparison Mobile IP OWL/IP
Software compatibility: Requires a Mobile IP
client software stack in
IP wireless stations.
Allows use of existing IP
software stacks in wireless
stations.
Addressing limitations
for IP stations:
None. Requires that IP station
addresses belong to the home
subnet.
Routing of non-IP
protocols:
Is not allowed. Is configurable through
[TX Filter]. Limitations are
detailed under “OWL/IP
Restrictions,” page E-2.
Scalability: Has no inherent limita-
tions.
Limits tunnel origination to
eight IP addresses. The
number of remote subnets
supported may be more than
or fewer than eight, depend-
ing on the selected address-
ing approach.
Special network soft-
ware:
Requires home and
foreign agents located on
each network or subnet-
work.
Is a standard feature in open
wireless LAN system soft-
ware.
OWL/IP Configuration Examples
Example 1: Class C IP Addresses
The sample network in Figure E-3 illustrates OWL/IP setup
for a location with several Class C IP addresses. Subnet
addressing is not used. For illustrative purposes, IP
addresses have been selected from those allocated for
private networks that are not connected to the Internet.
