Abstract

This paper studies the problems related to mobile connectivity on a wireless environment with Mobile IPv6, specially the handover, which is the most critical part. The main goal of this paper is to develop a structured methodology for analyzing 802.11/IPv6/MIPv6 handovers and their impact on application's level. This is accomplished by capturing traffic on a testbed and analyzing it with two applications developed for this purpose. The analysis covers passive and active measurements. This methodology is applicable for measuring improvements on handover (such as Fast Handovers for Mobile IPv6, Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 or 802.11 handover).
