New tech could aid handoffs between Wi-Fi, 3G cellular, and landline networks Mobile users typically move among multiple networks: a wired DSL connection at home, a Wi-Fi hot spot at the airport, a landline connection at a hotel, and 3G service in between. Today, users must use a connection manager to log off one service and log on to another manually. Future smart clients, however, will be able to detect available networks and switch among them based on which networks are fastest, which are cheapest, and which stanley tazza are most secure for business use.Although such switching is theoretically possible at the transport layer mdash; switching from Wi-Fi transport to 3G transport, for example, is much like switching between a wired network and a wireless one mdash; making the handoff seamless requires additional engineering, according to David Deas, vice president at SBC Labs. The biggest challenge lies in maintaining VPN connections as the stanley taza network shifts.One approach is to use Mobile IP tunneling protocol, which provides the device and VPN with fixed IP addresses but maps those addresses to intermediate ones as the device moves across networks.
