Mobile IP Technology for M-Business

Summary: Covers IPv6, 3G and GPRS
Review: Invaluable for anyone who is designing or developing mobile solutions, especially those using the 3G infrastructure that is currently being rolled out in the US by two major carriers.

Strong points: discusses mobile networking within the context of GPRS and 3G, making the information up to date. The detailed discussion of IP version 4 upon which the internet is based (and its many limitations), and IP version 6, which has enough address space to assign 4 IP address to each square inch of this planet's surface, is excellent. I like the comparisons and contrasts, and the discussion of barriers to implementing IP version 6.

This is a book with a narrow look. Because it is narrow it goes deeply into the necessary details and is essential if you are involved with designing or deploying mobile IP.
