A flexible mobile terminal comprises reconfigurable modules, e.g. components 131-134 of the Generic Mobility Component (GMC) 130, which are implemented by one or more sets of communication protocols 152-1, 152-2, 152-3 to receive an incoming data control packet 120. The data control packet 120 is arranged to correspond with the communication protocols 152-1, 152-2, 152-3 implemented in the reconfigurable modules 131-134, and information about relevant addresses and interfaces is stored in a dynamically extendable address database 190, e.g. an association of a permanent IP address to a network interface may be stored. The flexible reconfigurable mobile terminal is able to multihome with any combination of available IP addresses and network interfaces and transparently connect to different access networks. The mobile terminal can thus establish and maintain connections to different overlapping access networks and intelligently load balance its application data flows through those networks. |
