MobileID: Universal-ID Based Mobility in Locator/ID Separation Networks

With the boom of network technologies, the Internet architecture is being challenged by new problems such as routing scalability and mobility in these days. Although some related proposals were proposed, an interesting and open issue is that how to support mobility in the locator/ID separation based routing scalability networks. In this paper, we propose MobileID, which is an efficient approach to solve this issue. MobileID is a network-based proposal, in which the network is responsible for the mobility management of mobile nodes. Thus, it can satisfy the requirements of faster handover, route optimism, transport connection survivability, and so on. MobileID also inherit the characters of locator/ID separation protocol which can solve routing scalability problems. At the end of this paper, we describe MobileID analytic model, and compares MobileID handover performance with mobile IP and proxy mobile IP. The result shows the efficiency of MobileID.
