Performance Evaluation of Mobility Management

Abstract: Mobile networking is becoming increasingly popular but the underlying IP technology has built-in restrictions which impose barriers for mobility.Mobile IPv6 is the next generation protocol and in the near future, routers are going to become more faster and new technologies are going to reduce the Internet delay (delay incurred in transmitting packets from one network to another). It overcomes the problems of Current Mobile IPv4, which is the most promising solution for mobility management in the Internet. In this paper, we present performance evaluation of Mobile IPv4 and Mobile IPv6 using various parameters such as handoff latency, Throughput, packet end-to-end delay, and packet delivery ratio. The study was carried out using an open source Network Simulator NS-2 to study and analyse the behaviour of Mobile IPv4 and Mobile IPv6 protocol
