Abstract

In this present computer age, cellular technology and portable computers are becoming an integral part of day to day life. Each computer user wants to access the computing resources, irrespective of the location. Because of this need the computing paradigm "Mobile Computing" has assumed a primary role in modern computer communication technology. There are different Internet protocols proposed for Mobile Computing. In the present research, we study the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Mobile IPv6 (new version of current IPv4 protocol). We have developed simulation program using Scientific and Engineering Software (SES/workbench) and studied three mobility patterns namely Travelling Salesman, Pop-Up and Boring Professor for the performance study of Mobile IPv6. Performance of Mobile IPv6 is measured in terms of utilization and overhead and compared with Mobile IPv4 and Basic Triangular Routing (BTR). It has been observed that Mobile IPv6 scheme has better route optimization than the other schemes when Mobile node's movement from one network to another network is less frequent. But, when the movement of the Mobile node is more frequent then Basic Triangular Routing scheme outperformed the Mobile IPv6 scheme.
