Abstract
Abstract – As mobile computing is more and more widespread, mobility support for Internet devices becomes very important. Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) is a promising technology that handles the mobility management and provides the seamless mobile communications. It is expected that MIPv6, as a standard for mobile communication, will open the Mobile Internet Age. In this paper, we will discuss the basic principles of MIPv6 operation by means of handoff process and tunneling mechanism. We will also show how to simulate a proposed MIPv6 network scenario. This work is based on a specific simulator named OMNeT++ which includes simulation packages. Our simulation results include the throughput of each router in the proposed MIPv6 network; it also includes the handoff latency for each mobile node in the proposed MIPv6 network
