• Mobile IP is focused on providing transparent connectivity to mobile nodes in an IP based network environment. While transparent mobility support is essential for compatibility with applications that are geared towards fixed network environment, it is a handicap for applications that can potentially benefit from mobility awareness. In this paper, we present Mobile IP API which is an interface between the applications and the mobility management module at mobile terminals and their correspondent nodes. Our main focus is basic Mobile IP API which primarily enables reading of mobility information for applications on mobile nodes and correspondent nodes. We present usage scenarios, design, and implementation of the API. We are also currently pursuing standardization of Mobile IP API through the IETF.
