Abstract

IETF Mobile IPv6 design aims to solve the problem of disconnection while moving to a different network in current wireless internet by offering mobility support to devices and still maintain quality of service on both wire and wireless network. However, performance of real-time applications like VoIP and video streaming becomes so crucial on mobile network because of handover latency and associated packet loss. This paper evaluates Mobile IPv6 performance through implementing Mobile IPv6 testbed. Experiments were conducted to measure handover latency and packet loss during handover. This paper also suggests possible improvement in handover procedure for address resolution phase. Results from the experimental data can be used for future enhancement of Mobile IPv6 protocol.
