Abstract
In a Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6), two alternative routes are available: a Home Agent (HA) route (overlay route), and a direct communication route (flat route), which does not pass through the HA and is determined using the Return Routability procedure. The flat route is not always optimal when handover frequencies are taken into consideration. Therefore, it is necessary to select either the overlay or flat rate based on the particular communication situation. This paper proposes a communication route selection algorithm that is suitable of an HMIPv6 configuration, in which the route to be used is selected based on the packet delay measurement of each route. The algorithm’s effectiveness has been verified through a simulation of its operation, and the evaluation of the reduction in the number of delay measurement packets arriving at the HA.
