Features and use of IPv6 and MIPv6 protocols

The thesis deals with IPv6 protocol problematic and with mobility support in this protocol. In the first part are described basic IPv6 attributes and differences compared to IPv4 protocol. In the second part, the MIPv6 protocol is described in detail and mainly the advantages in wireless networks usage. Most of the part is dedicated to routing mechanism problematic of Bidirectional tunneling and Route Optimisation. Thereafter, networks are simulated in OPNET Modeler software to demonstrate the attributes of MIPv6 protocol. In conclusion, the simulations results are evaluated and also advantages of Route Optimization routing in networks
