Since the revolution in 1949 health care in China has undergone radical reform, western-style medicine has become firmly established alongside the traditional Chinese medicine, and is the first choice for the majority of young Chinese, particularly in the urban areas. These changes have become particularly noticeable since the ending of the cultural revolution in 1976, and the adoption of a pro-West stance by China.

IP datagrams for mobile nodes are routed rst to their home agents before being tunneled to mobile nodes through their current foreign agents. This paper investigates dynamic location control for mobile nodes and int...
متن کاملIntegration of IP Mobility in OPNET: Modeling and simulation
Using the base MIP protocol, two routing inefficiencies can be observed. The first is what’s called triangular routing: all traffic for the mobile node has to go through the home agent, increasing the routing path from the corresponding node to the mobile node. A possible solution is to let the correspondent nodes tunnel traffic directly to the care-of address: when the home agent first interce...
