Abstract

An interworking translator for IPv6 and IPv4 services can be defined as an intermediate component between a native IPv4 host and a native IPv6 host to enable direct communication between them without requiring any modifications to the hosts. But if the host is a mobile node, triangle routing problem occurs, since Mobile IPv4 allows mobile node to roam transparently in any network. In this situation, mobile node must notify transfer information to its own home agent and correspondent node in IPv6 network. But current NAT-PT does not permit mobility header translation. Therefore, NAT-PT does not support efficient communication between Mobile IPv4 and Mobile IPv6. In this paper, we propose a mobility service interworking mechanism for heterogeneous mobile network environments.
