Abstract :
Much of the recent standardization activity from the 3G mobile wireless community has been directed at the "all-IP" network to support multimedia services. This "all-IP" effort defines a separate IP multimedia domain attached to the mobile network. We consider what a mobile network might look like were it based on IP technology within the core of the network - if it were in fact all IP.
