> On November 16-18, 1998, UCLA Extension will present the short course,
> "Mobile IP: Adding Mobility to the Internet", on the UCLA campus in
> Los
> Angeles.
>
> The instructor is Charles Perkins, MA, Senior Staff Engineer, Sun
> Microsystems.
>
> As part of the course materials, each participant receives a copy of
> the
> text, "Mobile IP: Design Principles and Practice", by C. Perkins,
> 1997.
>
> As the Internet continues to grow, so too does the market for mobile
> computers. When mobile computers attach themselves to new networks
> within the Internet, they can use mobile IP as a means to achieve
> transparently seamless roaming to application software. In this
> context,
> 'transparent' means that the applications don't need to be recompiled
> or
> reconfigured, while 'seamless' means that roaming from one place to
> another occurs without inconvenience to the user. As long as a
> physical
> path exists for communication, the user might not even be aware when a
>
> cell boundary has been crossed.
>
> This course lays out the necessary protocol technology to allow mobile
>
> computers to use mobile IP, and describes the relevant operation of
> other protocols that can be used to aid mobility (such as DHCP,
> Service Location Protocol, and Tunnel Establishment Protocol). The
> course explores all aspects of mobile IP and other standard protocols
> that further simplify the operation of mobile computers on the
> Internet,
> including:
> o Mobile agent advertisements
> o Registration procedures
> o Tunneling mechanisms
> o The role of security
> o Home agents
> o Foreign agents
> o How to set up a home network
> o Getting care-of addresses via DHCP
> o Route optimization
> o Smooth handoffs
> o Firewalls traversal
> o Reverse tunnels and filtering by border routers
> o IPv6 mobility support
> o Service Location Protocol
> o Finding printers, faxes, filesystems
> o Ad hoc networking
> o DSSV, AODV, DSR
> o Tunnel Establishment Protocol
>
> Participants also look at an architectural model for supporting
> nomadic
> users currently under development within the Cross-Industry Working
> Team (XIWT) in the 'Nomadicity' group.
>
> The course is intended for anyone seeking to understand how to use
> mobile IP; how to create a home network for mobile users within their
> organization; or how to explore new Internet protocols and mobile
> computing. This interest group includes programmers, administrators,
> network managers, and mobile computer users who are already familiar
> with the Internet.
>
> The course fee is $1295, which includes the text and extensive course
> notes. These course materials are for participants only, and are not
> for
> sale.
