Mobility Management Using the IP Protocol
2018
Time critical applications, such as VoIP and video
conferencing require Internet connectivity all of the time for
better performance. Moreover, in case of vehicular networks, it
is very common for mobile devices to move from one network
to another. In such scenarios the sudden changes in the network
connectivity may cause problems, which affects the data
transmission rate. The movement of a mobile node from one
network to another is also a challenge for the routers to maintain
the routing information as well as to forward the data to the
corresponding node. In all of the aforementioned scenarios, the
switching between the networks with minimum latency improves
the performance, i.e. in terms of mobility and availability of the
network. The Mobile IP protocol serves the purpose of seamless
handover of mobile devices from one network to another. A
mobile node maintains its permanent IP address using the Mobile
IP protocol while moving to a foreign network. When a mobile
node establishes the connection with the foreign network the data
packets transmitted from the home network are redirected to
the foreign network. The Mobile IP protocol establishes a tunnel
between the home network and the foreign network. The process
of tunneling continues until the mobile node moves back to the
home network or when the foreign network advertises the new
IP address of the mobile node. With the increasing number of
wireless devices the mobility is the key challenge. The devices
with multiple interfaces such as mobile phone which uses 4G
as well as WiFi, the urge for the availability of the Internet
is also high. This paper provides a deep discussion about the
Mobile IP protocol and its implementation. A network scenario
is proposed with the configuration of the Mobile IP. According
to the obtained results of the simulations, the Mobile IP protocol
increases the availability of the network connection as well as it
achieves the larger throughput when compared with the scenario
without using the Mobile IP.
