Abstract

Mobile IPv6 provides support for multiple home agents on a single home link. This home link is single point of failure for mobile IPv6. Current specifications of mobile IPv6 does not provide solution to the home link failure problems. In this paper, we introduce "virtual home link" as an extension to mobile IPv6. It provides reliability and load balancing among the home links by introducing home link redundancy in the home network. It also provides solution to the home link failure problems. We present the results of several experiments to assess the performance of our solution. The results show that our solution provides transparent and home agent initiated home link failure detection, recovery and load balancing mechanisms. There is a significant reduction in message exchange over the air interface. Also, it provides high service availability in the upper layer applications. The home link failure recovery is fast and efficient. Moreover, there is reduced workload on the mobile node. Finally, the load balancing mechanism of our solution provides efficient, dynamic and transparent load balancing among multiple home links. Thus, our solution improves the overall mobile IPv6 and upper layer applications performance

基于移动IPv6网络的家庭链路可靠性与负载均衡研究

移动IPv6在单个家庭链路上为多个家庭代理提供支持。这个主链路是移动IPv6的单点故障。目前的移动IPv6规范并没有提供解决家庭链路故障问题的方案。在本文中，我们引入了“虚拟家庭链路”作为移动IPv6的扩展。它通过在家庭网络中引入家庭链路冗余来保证家庭链路之间的可靠性和负载均衡。它还提供了解决家庭链路故障问题的方法。我们给出了几个实验的结果来评估我们的解决方案的性能。结果表明，我们的解决方案提供了透明的、由主代理发起的主链路故障检测、恢复和负载平衡机制。通过空中接口的消息交换显著减少。此外，它还为上层应用程序提供了高服务可用性。主链路故障恢复快速、高效。此外，还减少了移动节点的工作负载。最后，本方案的负载均衡机制在多个主链路之间提供了高效、动态和透明的负载均衡。因此，我们的解决方案提高了整体移动IPv6和上层应用程序的性能
