Hello List,

Is there any sort of transparent Mobile IP implementation in OpenBSD? I see 
the use of GRE is supported. I am looking for something along the lines of 
TMIP (www.slyware.com/projects_tmip.shtml) where the layer 2 and or layer 3 
devices can communicate with each other on the separate networks to allow end 
users to roam between these multiple networks without the need of some Mobile 
IP agent installed and let the end user retain the same IP address throughout 
the multiple layer 2 and layer 3 networks. TMIP looks like exactly what I am 
looking for but it appears to not be maintained (last update was in 2003). It 
does not appear just using GRE by itself would address this scenario.

Almost all commercial products that implement Mobile IP technology requires 
end user software to be installed. I have heard Juniper equipment can handle 
this but I have not received any details on this yet. Another commercial 
vendor that appears to have this functionality is Blue Socket 
(bluesocket.com/products/controllerfamily.html  then search on page for "Adds 
New Meaning to Wireless Lan Security")

Someone could be hired to look into updating/maintaining TMIP or scrapping it 
and start fresh but I was hoping someone here might have some experience or 
insight on this or point me in another direction. I know OpenBSD prides 
itself (rightly so) on quality programming so if there was an OpenBSD version 
of what I am looking for that would be awesome.

Thanks for your time,
Justin
