Abstract

Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) is protocol for handling routing of IPv6 packets to mobile nodes that have moved away from their home network. However, in MIPv6, the handover process reveals numerous problems manifested by a time-consuming network layer based movement detection and latency in configuring a new care-of address, with confirmation scheme called duplicate address detection (DAD). To reduce the handover latency in standard MIPv6, the fast handover for Mobile IPv6 (FMIPv6) protocol is proposed. To do this, each time a mobile node moves to a new location, it configures and confirms its temporal IP address during layer 2 handover. In this paper, we study the impact of the address configuration and confirmation procedure on the FMIPv6's IP handover latency. A mathematical analysis comparing the various parameters is provided to show the benefits of our scheme over the current procedure like standard MIPv6 and FMIPv6.
