AI Thread Summary
In mobile networks, the concept of the Anchor Foreign Agent is crucial for understanding mobile node mobility. The Anchor Foreign Agent refers to the first Foreign Agent encountered by a mobile node when it connects to a new network. As the mobile node moves between networks, the Anchor Foreign Agent remains fixed, serving as the initial point for data routing. When the mobile node transitions to a new Foreign Agent, the data is first routed through the Anchor Foreign Agent, which communicates directly with the Correspondent Agent. This ensures that data forwarding is efficient as the New Foreign Agent establishes direct communication with the Anchor Foreign Agent for seamless connectivity. The role of the Foreign Agent is essential in facilitating Internet traffic forwarding for mobile nodes outside their home networks, working alongside the Home Agent to maintain location information and ensure continuous service.

Wireless and Mobile Networks - Mobile transfer between networks with direct routing
In this setting: // HENCE my textbook briefly says, but not clarify well
1)
Anchor Foreign Agent is the Foreign Agent in that foreign network where the mobile node was first found...
well,
when mobile node moves to a new foreign network, and again to another,...and so on Anchor Foreign Agent is fixed or moves and this, be the pre-the-new-Foreign Agent, Foreign Agent?

2)
Mostly in this case we have DIRECT COMMUNICATION between Correspondent Agent & new Foreign Agent OR, Correspondent Agent & Anchor Foreign Agent?

1) Let's first clarify what is Anchor Foreign Agent. In Mobile Internet Protocol (Mobile IP) , a Foreign Agent is a router serving as a mobility agent for a mobile node. It works in conjuction with a Home Agent (router on a mobile node's home network that holds information about the current location of a device). Foreign Agent is used for Internet traffic forwarding for a device connecting to the Internet from any other location than its home network. Now, Anchor Foreign Agent is the foreign agent in the first visited network. Data are always rooted first to the Anchor Foreign Agent. When mobile moves, New Foreign Agent arranges to have data forwarded from old Foreign Agent.

2) In the case of a new Foreign Agent we have direct communication between Correspondent Agent and Anchor Foreign Agent. New Foreign Agent has direct communication with Anchor Foreign Agent.

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
