Abstract
According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method, a logic, and systems for selecting a communications protocol are disclosed. An initial request having a static Internet Protocol address is received from a mobile node, and a dynamic address is assigned to the mobile node. A data packet is received from the mobile node, and whether the data packet uses the dynamic address or has a mobile Internet Protocol request is determined. If the data packet has the mobile Internet Protocol request, the data packet is processed using a mobile Internet Protocol process. Alternatively, if the data packet uses the dynamic address, the data packet is processed using a simple Internet Protocol process.
