Abstract

Mobile Internet protocol version 6 (MIPv6) [1] is a proposal for handling routing of IPv6 packets to mobile nodes that have moved away from their home network. We have studied the impact of the basic functionalities of MIPv6 on the performance of TCP when a mobile node (MN) moves between networks. The experiments carried involve a real internetwork connected to the experimental wide area IPv6 backbone and the mobile IPv6 software provided by "Kame" [2].
