PEPA Analysis of MAP Effects in Hierarchical Mobile IPv6

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

To overcome the drawbacks of the mobile IPv6 protocol on handling local mobility management, IETF proposed the HMIPv6 protocol which introduces an intermediate mobility anchor point (MAP) to hide the movement of a mobile node within a local area. However, the MAP forms a bottleneck in the network since all the traffic destined for its served nodes has to go through it. Most research on HMIPv6 focuses on protocol optimisation, and performance analysis of HMIPv6 is usually simulation-based. In this paper, we employ a performance evaluation formalism named PEPA to investigate the performance tradeoffs of MAPs in HMIPv6. Performance measures such as response time and MAP utilisation are presented.
