Abstract/Description

With the advent of cellular technology and portable computers we are on the verge of a new computing paradigm. This computing paradigm is now widely known as "mobile" or "nomadic" computing. Mobile systems frequently change their point of attachment to the network. Mobile computing systems also need to communicate with the existing pool of information and file servers. Mobility defies the very principles that the TCP/IP protocol suite is based on. We study the Internet Engineering Task Force ...

Mobile systems frequently change their point of attachment to the network. Mobile computing systems also need to communicate with the existing pool of information and file servers. Mobility defies the very principles that the TCP/IP protocol suite is based on. We study the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Mobile IPv4 protocol and find it to be a highly scale solution. We study some of the other proposed mobile IP solutions. We establish a criterion, call-to-mobility ratio, to compare various mobile IP schemes. Two hypothetical schemes, Static Update and Triangular Routing, are introduced solely for the purpose of comparing the performance of Mobile IPv4. In our simulation we concentrate on calculating the update costs and the routing costs for Triangular Routing, Static update and Mobile IPv4 schemes. The simulation program to simulate Triangular Routing, Static Update and Mobile IPv4 is written in C++. Minetsim, our simulation program is written using object-oriented analysis and design. Minetsim is used to obtain routing and update costs for Triangular Routing, Static Update and Mobile IPv4 schemes. Four different host configurations are simulated for travelling salesman and random motion mobility models.
