Abstract

This paper evaluates our work of Scalable Proxy Mobile IPv6 (SPMIPv6) in a Wireless Mesh Network (WMN), which is a promising solution for ubiquitous Internet access and a wide range of applications. The aspects of scalability and signaling cost are evaluated respectively: the scalability is evaluated by numerical analysis while the signaling cost with respect to delay is evaluated by a virtualization-based method. It is shown that the SPMIPv6 extension can scale the network better than the base Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) protocol. The quantitative results are provided to complete our previous qualitative results and to validate the application of SPMIPv6 for WMN.
