SEAMLESS MOBILITY AND SESSION CONTINUITY WITH TCP MOBILITY OPTION

摘要

A method for providing mobility for Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) transport with session continuity. In one embodiment, the method establishes a communication session between a first communication device and a second communication device using a TCP seamless mobility option (TCP-SMO) connection identifier for identifying the communication session between the first communication device and the second communication device. The method exchanges data between the communication device and the second communication device during the communication session. The method maintains the communication session between the communication device and the second communication device in response to a mobility event using the TCP-SMO connection identifier.
