Enhanced Tunneling Technique for Flow-Based Fast Handover in Proxy Mobile Ipv6 Networks

Abstract

Abstract-In the Mobile IPv6 network, each node is highly mobile and handoff is a very common process. When not processed efficiently, the handoff process may result in large amount of packet loss. If the handover process is performed without appropriate connection verification and through specified tunnels, then this may result in inappropriate traffic flow since the required traffic redirection may not happen in this case. To overcome these issues, we propose to develop an Enhanced Tunneling Technique for Flow-based Fast Handover in Proxy Mobile IPv6 Networks. In this technique, the packets are buffered to minimize the packet loss during handover and then the Flow based Fast Handover techique is employed to ensure that the traffic is redirected to the new subnet after handover process. Thus ensuring efficient network operation.
