Abstract

Mobile IPv6(MIPv6) allows a Mobile Node to talk directly to its peers while retaining the ability to move around and change the currently used IP address. One of the major issues regarding the basic Mobile IPv6 protocol is related to the handover management of a mobile node. This paper proposes efficient approach for adaptation of MIPv6 sing context information in roaming environments. To investigate on a efficient and secure handover procedure, proposed approach method will give us the following advantages: (l)the intention of context is to reduce latency, packet losses and avoid re-initiation of signaling to and from mobile nodes,(2) FMIPv6 aims to reduce handover latency due to IP protocol operations as small as possible in comparison to the inevitable link switching latency.
