Ability to pause transmissions during temporary disconnection Because the transport layer is aware of the mobility-induced disconnection,existing transmissions might be paused until reachability is reestablished. Ability to apply unique mobility ptimization mechanisms to different flows from the same mobile node ◼ Ability to pause transmissions during temporary disconnection Because the transport layer is aware of the mobility-induced disconnection, existing transmissions might be paused until reachability is reestablished. ◼ Ability to apply unique mobility ptimization mechanisms to different flows from the same mobile node
