A performance comparison of m schemes in Hierarchical M

schemes can select the serving MAP depending on the MN’s characteristics, e.g., mobility and session activity. In addition, the adaptive MAP selection scheme achieves low implementation overhead and better load balancing compared with the chical Mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6) [2] was proposed by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to mitigate the high signaling overhead that is incurred in Mobile IPv6 networks when mobile nodes (MNs) perform frequent handoffs. In HMIPv6 networks
