A visiting professorship at Korle Bu Hospital, Accra, Ghana, kept the process going and later work at Nixon Memorial Hospital, Segbwema, some 250 miles inland in Sierra Leone, made the link firmer still. I fancy that I am the only dermatologist in England to have been taught to repair an inguinal hernia by a locally trained theatre master (Mission hospitals in West Africa have theatre masters not sisters).

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...
