Mobility Related Protocols in IP Networks

Abstract – The significant aspect of current networks is the mobility. The Mobile IPv6 protocol has been designed to accomplish these requirements. We compiled a test network in order to make some performance measurements and to study the characteristics of the Mobile IPv6. The scope of this paper was to measure the typical behavior in the indoor environment and test the deficiencies of Mobile IPv6. We have found that the Duplicate Address Detection protocolshould be further refined to assures quicker reaction times during handovers
