  • Abstract:
  • Mobile IP is an important way for devices to switch between IP networks without losing their connection. It keeps things stable even as users move around. In today's wireless world, people jump from one access network to another all the time. Back in the day, tying identities to fixed IP addresses worked fine. But now that does not hold up so well. It causes sessions to break and services to suffer. This paper dives into the setup of mobile IP, how the protocols work, and the security headaches that come with it. First off, it covers the basics like home agents, foreign agents, and care-of addresses. Those handle the registration and tunnelling to keep mobile nodes talking smoothly. The study looks at triangular routing and encapsulation too. They do a decent job supporting mobility, but they have their limits. Then there's a comparison with other protocols to see where mobile IP fits in the big picture. It even suggests ways to blend it into 5G and 6G setups. Big issues like routing bottlenecks, scaling problems, and rising security threats get attention here. Solutions involve solid authentication and secure methods. Real-world uses show up in VPNs, managing external systems, and vehicle networks. That proves mobile IP still matters. In the end, the paper points to future work on making it more efficient, safer, and flexible for upcoming wireless tech. Those improvements will keep it relevant.
