Abstract

Whenever a mobile node moves across different networks, service disruption occurs thus making mobility management a key issue. In order to ensure the continuity of TCP session between communicating nodes, a number of protocols have been proposed so far. These protocols may be classified into two main categories: end-to-end and network-centric. As end-to-end mobility management protocols do not require additional entities in the network and no additional deployment cost is involved, that makes deployment of these protocols network operator independent. Due to these reasons end-to-end mobility management protocols are gaining popularity. However, performance evaluation of these end-to-end protocols on the basis of service disruption time has not been discussed so far. This paper analyzes these protocols on the basis of service disruption time using mathematical modeling techniques of performance evaluation. Results show that service disruption time of protocols that allow simultaneous communication through multiple interfaces is always smaller than the protocols that do not allow simultaneous communication.
