Abstract
Method for discovering a mobile host that roams across wireless networks, each wireless network comprising a mobile router and the mobile routers being coupled to a gateway. The method includes receiving a packet comprising an address of the mobile host within one of the wireless networks; and determining whether the address of the mobile host resolves to be within a subnet of mobile hosts manageable by the mobile router of the one wireless network. When both the address of the mobile host resolve to be within the subnet of mobile hosts manageable by the mobile router of the one wireless network, the method further includes adding the address of the mobile host to a table of registered mobile hosts for the mobile router of the one wireless network, the packet comprising a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) lease request for the mobile host.
