RFC 2356: Sun's SKIP Firewall Traversal for Mobile IP

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

The Mobile IP specification establishes the mechanisms that enable a mobile host to maintain and use the same IP address as it changes its point of attachment to the network. The mechanisms described in this document allow a mobile node out on a public sector of the internet to negotiate access past a SKIP firewall, and construct a secure channel into its home network. This memo provides information for the Internet community. This memo does not specify an Internet standard of any kind.
