Performance Comparison between NEMO BSP and SINEMO

Abstract

IETF has proposed mobile IPv6-based network mobility (NEMO) basic support protocol (BSP) to support network mobility. NEMO BSP inherits all the drawbacks of mobile IPv6, such as inefficient routing path, single point of failure, high handover latency and high packet overhead. To address these drawbacks, a new network mobility scheme, called seamless IP-diversity based network mobility (SINEMO), has been proposed. The goal of this paper is to validate with experimental data that SINEMO performs better than NEMO BSP. We show that SINEMO can improve the performance of IP based mobile networks.
