mobapi - A Movement Notification Library for Mobile IPv6

Introduction

mobapi provides a Movement Notification Library for Mobile IPv6. It gives applications the possibility to request a notification when the mobile node on which the application runs, has moved. It is built from three parts:

The library libmobapi implements (part of) the (expired) Internet draft Mobile IP API. Specifically, it implements the function mip_notify_movement(). This function can be called in two modes:

In blocking mode, the function returns when either the node has moved, or a specified timeout period has passed. In non-blocking mode, the application has to provide a callback function. After the callback function has been registered, mip_notify_movement() returns. When the node has moved, the callback function is called. When the application is no longer interested in notifications, it can deregister the callback function.
