    Mobile IP allows mobile nodes like laptops, smartphones and other devices to change their point of connection to the Internet while maintaining ongoing communication. It works by setting up a temporary address called a care-of address when the device connects to a foreign network and informing a home agent of the device's current location. The home agent intercepts packets destined for the device's home address and tunnels them to the current care-of address, enabling ongoing communication as the device moves. Mobile IP versions 4 and 6 differ in their use of foreign agents and address configuration methods to reduce signaling overhead during handoffs between networks.
