The addressing/routing model presented in this article is one more attempt to go beyond simple ad-hoc in improving IP routing. The model implements a vision of “ocean of connectivity and absolute minimum of support”. By realigning basic routing primitives I sketch a routing model that is simple, flexible, universal, self-maintained and self-reconfigurable, serves both classical wired, new wirel...

Broad industry awareness of IPv4 address scarcity has driven widespread support for IPv6 in most modern operating systems and network equipment, but even with years of encouragement from regional address registries (RIRs), and government mandates, the actual uptake of IPv6 has been disappointing. A vast ecosystem of software applications and devices still do not support IPv6, and many technolog...

Mobile IP is the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) proposal to cater for All-Internet Protocol (All-IP) mobility. It forms the backbone for next generation Wireless Internet Technology to provide uninterrupted network service while on the move. Our paper conducts a performance study of the various Mobile Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) protocols such as Simple Mobile IPv6, Hierarchical ...

This document specifies the operation of mobile computers using IPv6. Each mobile node is always identified by its home address, regardless of its current point of attachment to the Internet. While situated away from its home, a mobile node is also associated with a care-of address, which provides information about the mobile node’s current location. IPv6 packets addressed to a mobile node’s ho...

This document specifies an intra-site automatic tunneling protocol (ISATAP) for connecting IPv6 hosts and routers (nodes) within predominantly IPv4-based networks. This method is based on an IPv6 aggregatable global unicast address format (described herein) that embeds the IPv4 address of a node within the EUI-64 format interface identifier. This document assumes that, during the IPv4 to IPv6 c...

Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6) is an enhanced Mobile IPv6 for reducing signaling cost of location management. Multi-level Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (MHMIPv6) can organize mobile region as a multi-level hierarchy architecture, which is more flexible to support scalable services. However, MHMIPv6 will bring additional packet processing overhead, and produce negative impact especially on some mo...

draft-ietf-ngtrans-6to4-02.txt This memo specifies an optional mechanism for assigning a unique IPv6 address prefix to any site that currently has at least one globally unique IPv4 address, and describes scenarios for using such a prefix during the co-existence phase of IPv4 to IPv6 transition. The motivation for this method is to allow isolated IPv6 domains, attached to an IPv4 network which h...
