Currently it is very difficult for connection oriented applications to use a mobile environment. One reason is that Mobile IP requires intermediate software agents to be deployed in the Internet. This infrastructure based mobility scheme offers connectivity to itinerant hosts but incurs significant handoff and tunneling delays along with deployment costs. These delays are particularly harmful for connection oriented applications. In this paper we investigate an alternate mobility scheme which does not require any such infrastructure but only uses an end-point technique and interestingly provides much faster loss-free handoff for connection oriented applications. This End-to-End scheme named Interactive Protocol for Mobile Networks (IPMN) intelligently performs handoff based on information provided by MAC Layer. The network address change is handled by renewing the existing connections by manipulating the TCP/IP stack at the end-points. Also, unlike several other recently proposed end-to-end techniques which require extensive modification of end-protocols, the proposed scheme does not require any functional change in the TCP/IP protocol software. Besides the difference in deployment scenarios, the IPMN offers blazingly fast event based handoff and much faster and simplified transport (no tunneling delay) than MIP. We have implemented IPMN over FreeBSD. In this paper we show the performance advantage of IPMN over MIP with real deployment for three interesting real-time traffic types - www, voice streaming and, steerable/interactive time critical video.
