Evaluation of the Fast Handover Implementation for Mobile IPv6 in a Real Testbed
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fast Handovers is an enhancement to the Mobile IPv6 protocol, currently specified in an IETF draft, which reduces the handover latency. This can be beneficial to real-time applications. This paper presents a novel implementation of Fast Handovers and an analysis of the handover. Using a real testbed we study the handover latency and the provided QoS: analyzing the OWD, IPDV and Packet Loss before and after the handover. Finally we present a comparison between the Mobile IPv6 and the Fast Handovers handover.

Measurement-Based Comparison of IPv4/IPv6 Mobility Protocols on a WLAN Scenario
This paper focuses on a measurement-based comparison of the handover for different mobility protocols: Mobile IPv4, Mobile IPv6 and Fast Handovers for Mobile IPv6. The paper studies the handover using active and passive measurements computing the handover latency, packet losses and the provided QoS level in a real testbed. Our experimental results show that there are severe QoS fluctuations bef...
متن کاملImplementation of fast handover for proxy mobile IPv6: Resolving out-of-order packets
Mobile IP allows for location-independent routing of IP datagrams on the Internet. Mobile IP specifies how a mobile node (MN) registers with its home agent and how the home agent routes datagrams to the MN through the tunnel. Current Mobile IP protocols have difficulties meeting the stringent handover delay requirements of future wireless networks. Fast handover for Proxy Mobile IPv6 (FPMIPv6) ...
متن کاملMeasurement Based Analysis of the Handover in a WLAN MIPv6 Scenario
This paper studies the problems related to mobile connectivity on a wireless environment with Mobile IPv6, specially the handover, which is the most critical part. The main goal of this paper is to develop a structured methodology for analyzing 802.11/IPv6/MIPv6 handovers and their impact on application’s level. This is accomplished by capturing traffic on a testbed and analyzing it with two ap...
متن کاملMobile Ip Handover: a Comparative Survey of Seamless Handover Mechanisms
A seamless handover scheme with low latency and low packet loss is an important issue to maintain end-to-end TCP performance of mobile users. Several solutions have been proposed as extensions of Mobile IPv6 to improve the handover performance of mobility, each solution has its own advantages and disadvantages, and therefore, an standardized handover mechanism is not accepted yet. In this paper...
متن کاملAn Analysis of the Handover Latency Components in Mobile IPv6
This article analyses the latency components in Mobile IPv6 handovers. It provides real-implementation results for significant parts of the handover process through measurements in a real MIPv6 implementation on a wireless testbed based on IEEE 802.11b. Our work aims to extract information on the actions taken by network entities during the movement of a mobile node and to correctly measure and...
