Abstract

Mobile IPv6 suffers various limitations, e.g., lack of business model and management of enormous and discrete home agents, preventing it from being deployed in large-scale commercial environments. Recently, the identification/locator (ID/Locator) split architecture has demonstrated its significant predominance in next generation mobile networks. With the aim of pushing the global deployment of mobility support over IPv6, this study makes an effort to design and evaluate an operational mobility model over IPv6 (OMIPv6) based on ID/Locator split architecture. Instead of the home agents adopted in the standard MIPv6, a cloud mobility management center is employed to be responsible for maintaining the identification and locations of mobile hosts, as well as providing the name resolution services to the mobile hosts. Moreover, this paper develops an analytical model considering all possible costs required for the operation of OMIPv6.
