Mobile IPv6 is intended to hide the mobility of a node from the application. Some applications, however, are location aware and like to know when a node is moved. In this paper, we discuss the design and implementation of a Movement Notification library for Mobile IPv6. It supports applications running on a mobile node to ask for a notification when the node has moved. This can be done in eithe...

Mobile IPv6 is a macro-mobility "universal" solution and is only adapted to the mobile's movements within its own administrative domain. As Mobile IPv6 is expected to be the basis for the third generation cellular phone networks, a solution for inter-domain security is required. What is needed is that the visited domain should be able to authenticate the mobile to grant it access, and the mobil...

Due to the proliferation of handheld mobile devices, multimedia applications like Voice over IP (VoIP), video conferencing, network music, and online gaming are gaining popularity in recent years. These applications are well known to be delay sensitive and resource demanding. The mobility of mobile devices, running these applications, across different networks causes delay and service disruptio...

A home registration scheme is typically used for a mobile node to inform its home agent about the mobile node’s current location when it is away from its home link. The Mobile IPv6 protocol protects a home registration scheme against outsider attacks, but it fails to protect from attacks by legitimate mobile nodes behaving maliciously. A malicious mobile node could pretend to own a third-party’...

This document specifies a protocol which allows nodes to remain reachable while moving around in the IPv6 Internet. Each mobile node is always identified by its home address, regardless of its current point of attachment to the Internet. While situated away from its home, a mobile node is also associated with a care-of address, which provides information about the mobile node’s current location...

This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Abstract This document captures the issues that may arise in the deployment of IPv6 networks when they support Mobile IPv6 and firewalls. The issues are not only applicable to firewalls protecting enterprise networks, but are also applicable in...

This paper presents auto-networking technologies for IPv6 mobile ad hoc networks. The auto-networking technologies consist of IPv6 unicast address autoconfiguration, IPv6 multicast address allocation, secure multicast DNS, and service discovery. These technologies are based on IPv6’s inherent autoconfiguration facility, which can provide ad hoc users with automatic networking in IPv6 ad hoc env...

Though the popular Cisco NetFlow is widely used for flow-level traffic measurement in IPv4 networks, it is not suitable for IPv6 networks because of the fixed flow structure that cannot carry IPv6-related information. Therefore, the IETF IP Flow Information eXport (IPFIX) standard that employs the flexible flow template structure has been recently proposed to support various flow-level traffic ...

Mobile data traffic in the Internet has experienced an exponential growth due to the widespread presence of multimedia capable mobile devices and the deployment of multiple wireless networks. With this continuous development of mobile communications, the achievement of an efficient IP mobility management protocol has revealed as one of the major challenges in next-generation wireless networks. ...

The local mobility anchor in a Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) domain is able to provide access-networkand access-operator-specific handling or policing of the mobile node traffic using information about the access network to which the mobile node is attached. This specification defines a mechanism and a related mobility option for carrying the access network identifier and the access operator ident...
