This paper considers three applications—VoIP, mobile Web access and mobile server‐based data transfers—and evaluates the applicability of various IP‐based mobility management mechanisms. We first survey the features and characteristics of various IP mobility protocols, such as MIPv4, MIPv6, MIP‐RO, SIP, CIP, HAWAII, MIP‐RR and IDMP, and then evaluate their utility on an application‐specific basis. The diversity in the mobility‐related requirements ensures that no single mobility solution is universally applicable. We recommend a hierarchical mobility architecture. The framework uses our Dynamic Mobility Agent (DMA) architecture for managing intra‐domain mobility and multiple application‐based binding protocols for supporting inter‐domain mobility. Thus, we recommend SIP as the global binding protocol for VoIP applications and MIPv4/MIPv6 as the global binding mechanism for the mobile server scenario. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
