OWL/IP

Software compatibility:

Requires a Mobile IP

 

client software stack in

 

IP wireless stations.

Addressing limitations

None.

for IP stations:

 

Allows use of existing IP software stacks in wireless stations.

Requires that IP station addresses belong to the home subnet.

Routing of non-IP

Is not allowed.

protocols:

 

Scalability:

Has no inherent limita-

 

tions.

Special network soft-

Requires home and

ware:

foreign agents located on

 

each network or subnet-

 

work.

Is configurable through [TX Filter]. Limitations are detailed under “OWL/IP Restrictions,” page E-2.

Limits tunnel origination to eight IP addresses. The number of remote subnets supported may be more than or fewer than eight, depend- ing on the selected address- ing approach.

Is a standard feature in open wireless LAN system soft- ware.

OWL/IP Configuration Examples

Example 1: Class C IP Addresses

The sample network in Figure E-3 illustrates OWL/IP setup for a location with several Class C IP addresses. Subnet addressing is not used. For illustrative purposes, IP addresses have been selected from those allocated for private networks that are not connected to the Internet.
