Mobile_IP v1.00 README


   We recommend the following sequence of steps for using Linux Mobile-IP.

   1.  Read through mip-doc.v100.ps which is a postscript document
       describing the software. It includes a user guide which illustrates
       how the software should be compiled, what configuration files
       should be created and how each executable should be started.
       If you are unfamiliar with some of the terminology used below
       (e.g. mobile host, mobility agent), you should refer to this
       document for an explanation.

   2.  Compile the mh and agent executables (simply typing make should
       suffice). 

   3.  Create appropriate configuration files (/etc/mip-mh.ok,
       /etc/mip-vmh.ok, /etc/mip-vmh.ok) on the mobile hosts and
       mobility agents. Note that not all files are required on each
       of these hosts. You will need root permissions to do so.
       Sample configuration files are provided with our distribution.

   4.  On each mobility agent, modify agentscript appropriately (follow
       the comments in that file). Executing this script will automatically
       start the agent daemon with the right arguments. The script 
       should be executed with root privileges.

   5.  On each mobile host, modify mhscript appropriately (follow
       the comments in that file). Executing this script will automatically
       start the mh daemon with the right arguments. The script 
       should be executed with root privileges.

   6.  Start a network connection involving a mobile host. The network
       connection should stay alive even as the mobile host is moved
       from one mobility supporting network to another. Report any 
       problems to mobileip@anchor.cs.binghamton.edu (IP address is 
       128.226.3.28). Monitor http://anchor.cs.binghamton.edu/~mobileip
       for periodic updates.
