It relies on the notion of group mobility: i.e., a logical group (for example a team of coworkers at a convention) moves in a coordinated fashion. The existence of such logical group can be efficiently reflected in the addressing scheme. It assumes that an IP like address is used consisting of a group ID (or subnet ID) and a host ID, i.e. . A landmark is dynamically
