Abstract
Address translation is performed by a home domain of a first, e.g., mobile, network which may be moving relative to a second, e.g., packet oriented network, to convert the address of a first endpoint in the mobile network, associated with the home address of the first network to a second destination endpoint belonging to the second network.

16. A method of transferring data packets from a first endpoint of a portable source belonging to a first network that is mobile to a second destination endpoint belonging to a second network that is packet oriented, where the first network may be moving relatively to the second network, comprising:
translating addresses for data packets by a home network domain of the first network, where a first address of the first endpoint is associated with a home address of the first network. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. A mobile access point located in a first network transferring data packets from a first endpoint of a portable source belonging to the first network that is mobile to a second destination endpoint belonging to a second network that is packet oriented, where the first network may be moving relatively to the second network, said mobile access point comprising:
means for employing a tunneling mechanism for transfer of data packets, which hides a private address allocated to the first endpoint from any transport network located outside the first network.

30. A home access point located in a home network domain of a first network transferring data packets from a first endpoint of a portable source belonging to the first network that is mobile to a second destination endpoint belonging to a second network that is packet oriented, where the first network may be moving relatively to the second network, said home access point comprising
means for translating addresses to replace a source address field with a home address of the first endpoint and vice versa.
