Performance analysis of enhanced mobility model in Cloud Computing

Abstract

Cloud Computing is bound to become an integral part of the enterprises which seek to minimize their services cost by availing the services of application, platform, information, storage and mobility that the cloud provides. Mobility Services in Cloud enable nodes to move seamlessly between access networks while maintaining network connectivity and utilize uninterrupted services while on the move. A widespread usage of these services indicates the requirement of more IP addresses, but the IPv4 addresses are exhausting and a transition to IPv6 address is required. The concern is to find a secure, efficient, reliable, and cost effective method to enable mobility for Cloud Services in an environment with support to both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. In this paper we propose a model to enhance the mobility services in Cloud by utilizing the concept of HMIPv6 in coexistent network and produce a performance analysis of the existing models with the proposed model. The proposed model reduces the burden on existing IPv4 addresses and enhances Mobility as a service in Cloud Computing.
