Overview: This paper from Microsoft discusses the effects of mobility and multihoming on the threat models and security mechanisms used in designing transport-layer protocols. They focus on the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) because it incorporates multihoming support and there are proposals for extending the protocol towards transport-layer mobility. Besides SCTP, the lessons from security analysis apply to all transport-layer protocols that support multihoming or mobility with end-to-end signaling.
