Mobile devices can move between base stations without losing open connections.
The OnTheMove project features an adaption of a commercial IIOP implementation, IONA's IIOP Engine on top of a session layer. The session layer shields IIOP from the unreliability of the underlying network layer but does not perform address translation of IORs and therefore does not support mobile servers. Server mobility is transparent to clients. Acknowledgements We are very grateful to IONA Technologies for their generous support.
