ABSTRACT:: 
Traditional Voice-over-IP applications such as Microsoft NetMeeting 
assume that the user is on a machine with a fixed IP address. If, 
however, the user connects to the Internet, via a wireless network, 
on a handheld device, his IP address frequently changes as he moves 
from one subnet to another. In such a situation, we need a service 
that can be queried for the most current IP address of a person whom 
we wish to contact. In this project, we design and implement such a 
directory service. The service authenticates all callers and callees, 
is robust against most host failure, and scales to several thousand 
registered users.
