The paper describes the Internet Mobile Host Protocol (IMHP), which allows transparent routing of IP packets to mobile hosts in the Internet, while using only the mobile host's home IP address. No changes are required in stationary hosts that communicate with mobile hosts, and no changes are required in mobile hosts above the IP level. IMHP quickly converges to optimal routing following the movement of a mobile host, while maintaining the weak security model of today's Internet. Detailed examples of operation are presented.
