A Macro Mobility and Multihoming Notification Protocol for Wireless Mesh Networks implementing Mobile IP and SHIM6

چکیده
Wireless mesh networks provide cost-efficient means to ubiquitous Internet access. Large-scale wireless mesh networks may use multiple access networks. Depending on the routing protocol, a node may not know over which of these access networks it is communicating. In this report, we propose a routing protocol-independent method that allows nodes to (i) determine when they are switching the access network and (ii) to handle switches gracefully or (iii) to support multihoming. In addition, we discuss implementation of the proposed method with Mobile IP as underlying technology to support mobility and Shim6 to support multihoming.

Mobility and Multihoming Management and Strategies
Abstract—Future IPv6 mobile terminals will be equipped with several wireless network interfaces in order to take full advantage of heterogeneous technologies. However, the usage of multiple interfaces is not straight forward, and requires some support. Yet, mobility and multihoming support has been provided by different protocols. In this paper we study the management of both of them through a ...
متن کاملMobility Impact on Session Survivability under the SHIM6 Protocol and Enhancement of its Rehoming Procedure
Multihoming is a solution that enables a faulttolerant access to the Internet by configuring on each network entity several IP addresses associated with distinct ISPs. IPv6 natively allows end-hosts and end-sites to be multihomed where nodes and routers can have multiple IP addresses. However, a specific support is required to take full advantage of multihoming. The SHIM6 protocol provides such...
متن کاملEnd-to-End Mobility and Robust IP Soft Handover
We describe the design and implementation of a new transport layer protocol MMSP (Mobile Multimedia Streaming Protocol) that realizes end-to-end mobility and robust IP soft handover; its target is to greatly increase the quality of multimedia streaming applications over wireless networks. We address two main causes of quality degradation in the mobile environment. One is the frequent movement o...

متن کاملVirtual ID: ID/locator split in a mobile IP environment for mobility, multihoming and location privacy for the next generation wireless networks
Current networking protocols designed around single interface stationary end-systems clearly fail to represent the present communication context of mobile, multi-interface end-systems. Also, the convergence of wired and wireless technologies into an all-IP (AIP) next generation network will make available multiple diversified contexts that can be leveraged for better fault tolerance, higher ava...
