Proceedings of the Seminar on Internetworking 28-29.11.2002 Internet Protocols for Mobile Computing

摘要

The Interworking Seminar in Autumn 2002 is titled Internet Protocols for Mobile Computing. The title reflects the current transition to all IP-networks in the third generation of mobile communications. The title's most straightforward implication is that the IP is the common nominator as the networking, that is OSI layer 3, protocol. However, IP is not the only Internet technology that the future mobile communication systems will exploit. The IETF-Internet Talk Force-is a huge standardization forum. In November 2002 IEFT has 136 active working groups divided into eight work areas: Applications Area, General Area, Internet Area, Operations and Management Area, Routing Area, Security Area, Sub-IP Area, and Transport Area. Therefore, a seminar can only take a glimpse at on-going activities in the IETF. However, the papers in our proceedings give quite comprehensive overview of current IETF activities related to Internet protocols for mobile computing.
