Ahmad H. Talaat, Nael A. Hussein, Hussein A. Elsayed, Hadia Elhennawy . Real-time Traffic Performance for WiFi Handovers over MIPv4 versus MIPv6. International Journal of Computer Applications. 26, 8 ( July 2011), 10-15. DOI=10.5120/3127-4303
One of the major problems faced by different wireless networks nowadays, is the mobility. Inter-Radio Access Technologies handovers, roaming, and application continuity problems motivate the MIPv6 rather than MIPv4. This paper will cover the main benefits and drawbacks for the different mobile IPs via literal and simulation discussions. Using IPv4 tunnels to carry MIPv6 as a alternate will be discussed also, in case of not all-IPv6 network is used.
