Mobile Inter-networking with IPv6

A comprehensive reference on understanding, designing, andimplementing IP Mobility
This authoritative reference provides readers with a thoroughunderstanding of IP Mobility using Mobile IPv6 and companionadvanced mobility protocols including network mobility and fasthandovers. It illustrates basic concepts and principles behind theIP Mobility architecture and covers the practices using detailedprotocol description. Of particular importance is how mobilenetworking will support billions of devices without restrictingapplications or overburdening network infrastructures, and how itwill support the movement of users from network to network withoutcompromising security.
Authors Koodli and Perkins investigate how IP mobility is usedin practice and the adoption of Mobile IPv6 in CDMA cellularsystems. They also cover some experimental work, includingperformance of VoIP handovers over WLAN, multi-access networkhandovers, and emerging topics such as location privacy.
In five parts, Mobile Inter-networking with IPv6 covers:
* Features of IPv6 and IP security
* Mobility concepts and principles, Mobile IPv6 protocol, packethandling, and network mobility
* Advanced mobility protocols, including fast handovers, fasthandover protocol, context transfers, and hierarchical mobilitymanagement
* Applying IP mobility, including Mobile IPv6 in CDMA packet datanetworks, enterprise mobile networking, and WLAN fasthandovers
* Emerging topics such as multi-access and mobility, seamless IPhandovers, location privacy and IP mobility, and route optimizationfor Mobile IPv4 using Mobile IPv6 return routability
With chapter exercises and handy references, readers will haveplenty of opportunities to pursue topics in further detail. This isa comprehensive reference suitable for practitioners and studentswith a basic understanding of TCP/IP protocols.
