Abstract
It has long been ill to manage mobility in IP networks. In this paper we propose namebased sockets and apply a name-based approach to improve Shim6 (a host-based multihoming solution) to support host mobility. We show how the name-based approach intrinsically transforms Shim6 into a mobility solution and how the existing infrastructure is sufficient to provide the necessary signaling to support unilateral and bilateral mobility. An implementation evaluation shows that it achieves promising recovery time in both scenarios.

The Shim6 architecture for IPv6 multihoming
The Shim6 architecture enables IPv6 multihoming without compromising the scalability of the global routing system by using provider aggregatable addresses. To do so, hosts use different addresses as locators for data packet transmission, but present the ...
