Abstract
Discrete models for reptation are discussed. It is shown that in the weak field limit a formula for the drift velocity exists, which is applicable to a wide class of dynamical models. In the long polymer limit the behavior is dominated by the existence of a permanent head and tail of the polymer which influences the statistics and the expressions for drift and mobility in a fundamental way.
