Mobile transfer between networks with direct routing

In summary, Anchor Foreign Agent remains fixed or moves, depending on the mobility of the mobile node, and serves as the pre-new-Foreign Agent. Direct communication can occur between Correspondent Agent and either the new Foreign Agent or the Anchor Foreign Agent.

Wireless and Mobile Networks - Mobile transfer between networks with direct routing
In this setting: // HENCE my textbook briefly says, but not clarify well
1)
Anchor Foreign Agent is the Foreign Agent in that foreign network where the mobile node was first found...
well,
when mobile node moves to a new foreign network, and again to another,...and so on Anchor Foreign Agent is fixed or moves and this, be the pre-the-new-Foreign Agent, Foreign Agent?

2)
Mostly in this case we have DIRECT COMMUNICATION between Correspondent Agent & new Foreign Agent OR, Correspondent Agent & Anchor Foreign Agent?

1) Let's first clarify what is Anchor Foreign Agent. In Mobile Internet Protocol (Mobile IP) , a Foreign Agent is a router serving as a mobility agent for a mobile node. It works in conjuction with a Home Agent (router on a mobile node's home network that holds information about the current location of a device). Foreign Agent is used for Internet traffic forwarding for a device connecting to the Internet from any other location than its home network. Now, Anchor Foreign Agent is the foreign agent in the first visited network. Data are always rooted first to the Anchor Foreign Agent. When mobile moves, New Foreign Agent arranges to have data forwarded from old Foreign Agent.

2) In the case of a new Foreign Agent we have direct communication between Correspondent Agent and Anchor Foreign Agent. New Foreign Agent has direct communication with Anchor Foreign Agent.

Related to Mobile transfer between networks with direct routing

1. What is mobile transfer between networks with direct routing?

Mobile transfer between networks with direct routing is a process that allows for seamless transfer of data or voice calls from one mobile network to another, without the need for a third-party network. This is achieved by establishing a direct connection between the two networks, ensuring faster and more efficient data transfer.

2. How does mobile transfer between networks with direct routing work?

Mobile transfer between networks with direct routing works by establishing a direct connection between two mobile networks using a physical or virtual link. This link allows for the exchange of data or voice calls between the two networks in real-time, without the need for a third-party network or server.

3. What are the benefits of using mobile transfer between networks with direct routing?

There are several benefits to using mobile transfer between networks with direct routing. These include faster data transfer speeds, lower latency, improved call quality, and reduced network congestion. It also allows for more efficient use of resources and can lower costs for mobile network operators.

4. Is mobile transfer between networks with direct routing secure?

Yes, mobile transfer between networks with direct routing is secure. The direct connection between the two networks is encrypted, ensuring that data and voice calls are protected from unauthorized access. Additionally, most mobile network operators have strict security protocols in place to safeguard their networks.

5. Are there any limitations to mobile transfer between networks with direct routing?

While mobile transfer between networks with direct routing offers many benefits, there are a few limitations to consider. One limitation is that both networks need to have compatible technology and infrastructure to establish a direct connection. Another limitation is that not all mobile network operators may have agreements in place to allow for direct routing, which could restrict the availability of this service in certain areas.
