چکیده

Mobile IP is a standard for handling routing for hosts that have moved from their home network. This paper studies the costs of the Mobile IP handoff that occurs when a mobile host moves between networks. Experiments were carried out with Mobile IP and TCP over varying network conditions to observe the effect of handoffs on the transmission. This paper shows that although Mobile IP may be appropriate for current applications, its long handoff periods make it unsuitable for the future.

Performance Evaluation of Tcp over Mobile Ip

The aim of this paper is to study the effects of Triangle Routing and Mobile IP handoffs on TCP Performance. The majority of Internet hosts today do not comply with the considerations for routing optimisation. This means that until the wide deployment of next generation Internet hosts, triangle routing will be a permanent effect to Internet mobile communications. For Mobile IP handoffs it is de...

Performance of TCP and UDP during mobile IP handoffs in single-agent subnetworks

In this paper we analyse the performance of Mobile IP (MIP) handoffs with respect to the three available MIP movement detection methods, namely Lazy Cell Switching, Prefix Matching and Eager Cell Switching. The network scenario considered involves single-agent subnetworks and Mobile Nodes that do not have the capability to contemporarily participate in multiple networks (e.g. IEEE802.11). This ...

Mobile IP [1] and a Mobile IP with route optimization extension in Mobile IP protocol. The Base Mobile IP protocol can support host mobility without modification

Performance of TCP can be severely degraded in Mobile IP-based wireless networks where packet losses not related to network congestion occur frequently during inter-subnetwork handoffs by user mobility. To solve such a problem in the networks using Mobile IP, the packet buffering method at a base station(BS) recovers those packets dropped during handoff by forwarding the buffered packets at the...

Improving TCP handoff performance in Mobile IP based networks

Mobile IP has been designed to support host mobility over the Internet. In this paper, we show that in most cases the smooth handoff by the route optimization of the Mobile IP standard cannot prevent degradation of TCP performance in events of handoffs, although it was originally intended to reduce the number of packets dropped during a handoff. We also show that in utilizing the route optimiza...

Improving TCP Performance by Packet Buffering in Mobile IP Based Networks

It is well–known that TCP often experiences severe performance degradation in mobile networks since due to host mobility, packet losses not related to network congestion occur frequently. In this paper, we propose a buffering of packets at a base station to resolve such a problem. Our method can be used without sacrificing the scalability in Mobile IP based networks. For this purpose, we first ...
