Performance Analysis of Multicast Mobility in a Hierarchical Mobile IP Proxy Environment
Mobility support in IPv6 networks is ready for release as an RFC, stimulating
major discussions on improvements to meet real-time communication requirements.
Sprawling hot spots of IP-only wireless networks at the same time await voice
and videoconferencing as standard mobile Internet services, thereby adding the
request for multicast support to real-time mobility. This paper briefly
introduces current approaches for seamless multicast extensions to Mobile IPv6.
Key issues of multicast mobility are discussed. Both analytically and in
simulations comparisons are drawn between handover performance characteristics,
dedicating special focus on the M-HMIPv6 approach.Comment: 11 pages, 7 figure
IPv6 Network Mobility
Network Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting has
been used since before the days of the Internet as we know it
today. Authentication asks the question, âWho or what are
you?â Authorization asks, âWhat are you allowed to do?â And fi nally,
accounting wants to know, âWhat did you do?â These fundamental
security building blocks are being used in expanded ways today. The
fi rst part of this two-part series focused on the overall concepts of
AAA, the elements involved in AAA communications, and highlevel
approaches to achieving specifi c AAA goals. It was published in
IPJ Volume 10, No. 1[0]. This second part of the series discusses the
protocols involved, specifi c applications of AAA, and considerations
for the future of AAA
Mobile Networking
We point out the different performance problems that need to be addressed when considering mobility in IP networks. We also define the reference architecture and present a framework to classify the different solutions for mobility management in IP networks. The performance of the major candidate micro-mobility solutions is evaluated for both real-time (UDP) and data (TCP) traffic through simulation and by means of an analytical model. Using these models we compare the performance of different mobility management schemes for different data and real-time services and the network resources that are needed for it. We point out the problems of TCP in wireless environments and review some proposed enhancements to TCP that aim at improving TCP performance. We make a detailed study of how some of micro-mobility protocols namely Cellular IP, Hawaii and Hierarchical Mobile IP affect the behavior of TCP and their interaction with the MAC layer. We investigate the impact of handoffs on TCP by means of simulation traces that show the evolution of segments and acknowledgments during handoffs.Publicad
Multicast Routing Algorithms and Failure Analyses for Low Earth Orbit Satellite Communication Networks
In the rapidly changing environment of mobile communications, the importance of the mobile satellite (e,g,, low earth orbit satellites (LEOsats)) networks will increase due to their global visibility and connection. Multicasting is an effective communication method in terms of frequency spectrum usage for a LEO network. It is devised to provide lower network traffic (i,e,, one-to-many transmissions). This research examines the system performance of two dissimilar terrestrially-based multicasting protocols: the Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) and the On Demand Multicast Routing Protocol (ODMRP). These two protocols are simulated in large group membership density and in the presence of satellite failures. Two different algorithms are developed and used to select critical satellites for degrading a LEO network constellation. The simulation results show that the ODMRP protocol successfully reconfigured routes in large group membership density areas and in satellite failure conditions. Results also show that the ODMRP provided reliable packet delivery. However, ODMRP showed an enormous end-to-end delay in severe satellite failure conditions. This result is attributable to the delayed route refreshing procedure of ODMRP. In contrast, the DVMRP suffered from broken routes and complexity in the large group membership density and in satellite failure conditions. It had a smaller packet delivery ratio than the ODMRP (approximately 85,5% versus 98,9% for the 80 user case). The DVMRP showed scalable and stable end-to-end delay under multiple failed satellite conditions. The large group membership density and the multiple satellite failure conditions provide a more complete assessment for these two protocols
Design and Experimental Evaluation of a Route Optimisation Solution for NEMO
An important requirement for Internet protocol (IP)
networks to achieve the aim of ubiquitous connectivity is network
mobility (NEMO). With NEMO support we can provide Internet
access from mobile platforms, such as public transportation vehicles,
to normal nodes that do not need to implement any special
mobility protocol. The NEMO basic support protocol has been
proposed in the IETF as a first solution to this problem, but this
solution has severe performance limitations. This paper presents
MIRON: Mobile IPv6 route optimization for NEMO, an approach
to the problem of NEMO support that overcomes the limitations
of the basic solution by combining two different modes of operation:
a Proxy-MR and an address delegation with built-in routing
mechanisms. This paper describes the design and rationale of the
solution, with an experimental validation and performance evaluation
based on an implementation.Publicad
