Abstract
Several nv6 mobility support protocols for mobile Internet services are proposed in IETP : Mobile Ipv6, Hierarchical Mobile Ipv6, and Fast Handovers over Mobile Ipv6. Recently, IEEE 802.11 network has also been widely deployed in public areas for mobile Internet services. In the near future, IPv6 mobility support over IEEE 802.11 network is expected to be a key function to actualize the All If-based mobile various services. For appropriate application of these protocols, the IPv6 mobility support protocols should be analyzed according to their characteristics in terms of signaling, handover latency, lost packets, and required buffer sire as well as the impact of lower layer such as IEEE 802.11 network. In this paper, we analyze the performance of the protocols over IEEE 802.11 network. We define a packet-level traffic model, a network system model, and a mobility model. From these models, we construct a framework for the performance analysis. We also make cost functions to formalize each protocol's performance. Lastly, we analyze the effect of varying parameters used to show diverse numerical results, and compare with each other. From the analysis results, it is concluded that each Protocol has contrary or contrastive advantages with other Protocols, so there is no protocol that holds a dominant position.
