APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING NETWORK ADDRESSES IN MOBILE TERMINAL

摘要

A method and an apparatus for processing plural network addresses in a mobile terminal are provided to enable the mobile terminal to secure mobility using a virtual interface without the modification of existing network modules even in an environment that the mobile terminal has multiple network interfaces and multiple network addresses. A method for processing plural network addresses in a mobile terminal comprises the following steps of: storing combinations of the HoA(Home of Address) of the mobile terminal, plural CoAs(Care of Addresses), and plural NIs(Network Interfaces) which can be connected to plural network(50); selecting an NI combination for connecting an MN(Mobile Node) and a target node in the combinations and setting a corresponding path when the mobile terminal transmits packets to the target node(51); and transmitting the packets through the set path(52).
