Planet MAP-2105 [6/66] Chapter 1 introduction

Chapter 1 Introduction

The MAP-2105 is a mobile IP roaming gateway which is specifically designed for PLANET

wireless mesh network. It offers the full “mobility” to all users. Not like the layer-2 only capability in

ordinary AP, the “mobility” defined in MAP-2105 is the ability of a user to change its attached

node from one mesh AP to another while maintaining all existing communications and using the

same IP address at this new link. Remote printing, remote login, VoIP sessions, and file transfers

are some examples of applications whose communications are undesirable to interrupt when a

mobile user moves from node to node.
