Three Layer MIPv6 (TLMIPv6): A new mobility management protocol for IPv6 based network

Abstract

Uninterrupted connectivity on move is a primary demand of end users both in cellular and IP based networks. Protocols that assist to maintain continuous link despite of frequent change in point-of attachment of mobile devices are called mobility management protocol. Although the mobility management protocols are matured enough in cellular network it is in a growing phase for IP based network. In this paper a new mobility management scheme called Three Layer MIPv6 (TLMIPv6) is proposed and comparative performance evaluation is carried out with MIPv6 and HMIPv6 protocol using simulation in ns-2 environment. The intention of this work is to analyze these three protocols and to find suitable scenario for each of these protocols.
