Abstract :
A possible solution to provide access to ad hoc terminals to the Internet through conventional WLAN networks is described in the mobile multi-gateway support. Reported is a simple scheme that has been developed to decrement the gateway switching times that are present under this IETF Internet Draft. By reducing these periods, the method clearly eases the integration of ad hoc communications into external networks
