Abstract
Mobile IP allows mobile end-systems to maintain on-going connections while moving to other links. Based on the Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6), mobile IPv6 provides a set of new mobility functions such as route optimization in addition to the functions in mobile IPv4. This paper describes the hardware-based mobile IPv6 implementation which provides all the mobility functionalities in hardware. The hardware-based mobile IPv6 provides faster mobility support than software-based implementation as well as it reduces the number of packet losses which can be caused during the movement. In end-systems equipped with hardware-based mobility support, the CPU can concentrate more on running application programs without wasting its effort for mobility support, and hence it is expected the overall performance improvement.
