An Efficient Micro Mobility Support Scheme using PIM-SM in IPv6 Network

IPv6망에서의 PIM-SM을 이용한 마이크로 이동성 제공 방안

This paper proposes an efficient micro mobility scheme to support user mobility inside an access network which employs Ipv6. The proposed scheme, namely SMM(Sparse-mode Multicast for mobility), utilizes a class of multicast protocol, PIM-SM, in the visited access network to reduce signaling to the home agent as well as to the correspondent node and to minimize packet loss during the handoff when mobile user changes its point of attachment frequently. Through the simulation, the performance of the proposed SMM is analyzed and compared with those of Mobile nv6 and for the case which adpots PIM-DM. The result shows that SMM provides significantly better performance in terms of packet loss that is invariant to transmission rate and packet size.
