Mobile IP using private IP address through stateful network address translation

Abstract

Mobile networking i s becoming popular. The increase inmobile cwmunicationmakes the lackingproblem in number of addresses for IPV4 more serious. To solve this problem, this paper proposes an approach to f u l f i l l a m b i l e IPprotocol byusingastateful NAT(Netw0rkaddress Translation) technology. This approach i s able to c o m i c a t e through information sharingby theNATaddress mapping between HA and FA. Iherefore, the preferred protocol i s not requiring an additional procedure between HAandFAforprocessing, whichrelatethemobilityandit's showing a normal procedure of the mobile IP. This paper presents a detailed design of the statful NAT approach.
