Mobile IPv6 is considered to be one of the key technologies for realizing mobile Internet which enables seamless communication between fixed line and wireless access networks. In this paper, we introduce the basic concept of Mobile IPv6 and describe the detail procedure of handoff of mobile terminal. We analyze its effectiveness of Mobile IPv6 handoff by using Network Simulator 2 and constructe...

This paper presents a secure authentication method for Mobile IPv6. As a default IPsec is used for secure signaling messages between the Mobile Node and other agents in Mobile IPv6 networks. Mobile IPv6 message transactions include the Binding Updates and Acknowledgement messages as well. We propose a new mechanism for securing Mobile IPv6 signaling between Mobile Node and other agents. The pro...

Mobile IPv6 signaling between a Mobile Node (MN) and its Home Agent (HA) is secured using IPsec. The security association (SA) between an MN and the HA is established using Internet Key Exchange Protocol (IKE) version 1 or 2. The security model specified for Mobile IPv6, which relies on IKE/IPsec, requires interaction between the Mobile IPv6 protocol component and the IKE/IPsec module of the IP...

Mobile IPv6 performs mobility management to mobile node within IPv6 networks. Since IPv6 is not widely deployed yet, it's an important feature to let Mobile IPv6 support mobile node moving to IPv4 network and maintaining the established communications. DSMIPv6 specification extends Mobile IPv6 capabilities to allow dual stack mobile nodes to move within IPv4 and IPv6 networks. This paper descri...

This document specifies Mobile IPv6, a protocol that 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 curr...

This document specifies the operation the IPv6 Internet with mobile computers. 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. IPv6 packets addressed to a mobile ...

Middleboxes such as firewalls are an important aspect for a majority of IP networks today. Current IP networks are predominantly based on IPv4 technology, and hence various firewalls as well as Network Address Translators (NATs) have been originally designed for these networks. Deployment of IPv6 networks is currently work in progress. Given the fact that Mobile IPv6 is a recent standard, most ...

Mobile IP is the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) proposal to cater for All-Internet Protocol (All-IP) mobility. It forms the backbone for next generation Wireless Internet Technology to provide uninterrupted network service while on the move. Our paper conducts a performance study of the various Mobile Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) protocols such as Simple Mobile IPv6, Hierarchical ...
