This book is pretty much word for word from RFC 2002. Instead of buying this book you should just grab the rfc for free.

Despite several years of involvement with Mobile IP as an implementor, and having personally helped to develop it into a standard, I managed to see new things when viewing the details from Charlie's point of view. His ability to present the overviews required to bring the reader through the technology, and from chapter to chapter is logical and clear. At the same time, Charlie provides the reader with suitable references both to other locations within his book, as well as from external sources for later reference. I have experienced first hand Charlie's significant contributions to the Mobile IP standard in both theory, and practice by more than good example. His contribution to Mobile IP, and to the rest of the world in the form of this book should not be overlooked by anyone from the administrator considering utilizing Mobile IP, to the graduate student wishing to understand it.

This book is a good reference for Mobile IP beginners. It is a one shop stop to get information on Mobile IPv4. However when one reads the RFCs, it is clear that the material is a reiteration of the same and the book needs to be updated with the advances.

However if one wishes to start learning about Mobile IP this is a good place to start and obtain information, as well as pointers to other references.

Book was too dry to read. Poorly organized and
lacks practical utility. I prefer James Solomon's
Mobile IP book instead! Also no mention of original
mobile IP ACM SIGCOMM paper by Prof. Gerald Mcquarie.
