Mobility aware applications have been proposed several times in the past in order to compensate for the weakness of the standard IP model in a mobile environment. Such applications are aware of the network conditions and are able to adapt themselves to such variable conditions. They can even get involved into flow routing and interface management. The solutions proposed by litterature are mainly related to applications embedded into mobile nodes. This paper proposes a novel architecture that takes into account mobile network specificities and aims to propose a unified common interface for these applications.
