The IETF Mobile IPv6 protocol has been developped to manage global (macro) mobility. It is not adapted to local (micro) mobility since it does not support any kind of hierarchy. This report presents a hierarchical protocol, built on top of Mobile IPv6, that separates local mobility (within a site) from global mobility (across sites) management. Local handoffs are managed locally and transparent...

This paper provides a dynamic IPv6 prefix delegationbased addressing solution to enable Internet connectivity when a Personal Area Network (PAN) is moving between sub-networks. A PAN consists of a cluster of mobile devices, which are dynamically connected with each other and move around together. The approach is based on IPv6 stateless address auto-configuration, and Automatic Prefix Delegation...

With the development of network technology, IPv6 will be widely used in the next generation Internet, IPv6 will be used in the next generation Internet, IPv6 could combine mobile networks and fixed wireless networks closely, which brings great convenience to people’s live. The handoff delay of Mobile IPv6 seriously affected the realtime communication service quality, therefore various improveme...

Mobile IP is the current standard proposed by IETF for mobility management in IP networks. Mobile node communicating with static correspondent node (CN) has been considered in previous performance studies. We propose the mobility of CN and two additional mobility combinations for Mobile IP in this paper. CN mobility causes performance degradation in an environment with frequent handoffs. A new ...

This paper addresses the problems of routing datagrams to nodes located in an IPv6 mobile network. A mobile network is a network that is changing its point of attachment dynamically such as a network deployed in an aircraft, a boat, or a car. The IETF Mobile-IPv6 protocol that has been developed to support mobile nodes is unable to support mobile networks efficiently. In fact, we show that Mobi...

This document introduces extensions to Mobile IPv6 and IPv6 Neighbour Discovery to allow for local mobility handling. Hierarchical mobility management for Mobile IPv6 is designed to reduce the amount of signalling between the Mobile Node, its Correspondent Nodes, and its Home Agent. The Mobility Anchor Point (MAP) described in this document can also be used to improve the performance of Mobile ...

This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB), the Mobile-IPv6 MIB, for use with network management protocols in the Internet community. In particular, the Mobile-IPv6 MIB will be used to monitor and control the mobile node, home agent, and correspondent node functions of a Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) entity.

This memo defines a portion of the Proxy Mobile IPv6 Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in the Internet community. In particular, the Proxy Mobile IPv6 MIB can be used to monitor and control the mobile access gateway (MAG) and the local mobility anchor (LMA) functions of a Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) entity.

Mobile IPv6 has been developed to sustain a seamless mobility in IP network which consists of many favorable characteristics in comparison to the previous Mobile IP protocol, i.e. Mobile IPv4. Unfortunately, Mobile IPv6 is badly affected by security threats like eavesdropping, secure route optimization, connection hijacking and denial of services and security issues are one of the major concern...

In this article we analyze IPv6 handover over wireless LAN. Mobile IPv6 is designed to manage mobile nodes’ movements between wireless IPv6 networks. Nevertheless, the active communications of a mobile node are interrupted until the handover completes. Therefore, several extensions to Mobile IPv6 have been proposed to reduce the handover latency and the number of lost packets. We describe two o...
