Abstract

Recently, the world has become increasingly mobile, and people have started communicating by wireless networking. Mobile IPv6 enables mobile users to communicate with each other while moving. In this study, a mobile IPv6 network was implemented by the IEEE 802. 11 specification, and its performance was analyzed using TCP and UDP applications. The experimental results indicate that throughput stabilized for UDP applications after about 6-14 seconds. However, TCP applications were found to stabilize throughput in 10-20 seconds. The evaluation results reveal that TCP applications perform less well in mobile IPv6 networking than UDP applications.
