MobiSplit in a Virtualized, Multi-Device Environment

—This paper details a novel architecture, MobiSplit [17], for managing mobility in future IP based networks. The architecture separates mobility management in two levels, local and global, that are managed in completely independent ways. We describe how such a mobility architecture can be used to support a new paradigm in mobility. By combining the user’s identity with a multi physical virtual terminal we treat the movement of people rather than their physical manifestations in one device. We conclude by analyzing the concrete system, built from this new architecture and existing protocols, in terms of scalability, flexibility and security.
