Host Identifier and Local Locator for mobile oriented future internet: Implementation perspective

It is envisioned that the future Internet will be evolved to mobile oriented network environment, and the mobility support is a key issue in the design of future Internet. This paper proposes an architecture of Host Identifier and Local Locator (HILL) for the future mobile-oriented Internet. The proposed HILL architecture is implemented over Linux platform by using netfilter, iptables, and 6 to 4 tunneling. In addition, the handover performance is analyzed over the experimental testbed. In the experimental result, we can see that the handover operation is completed within one second.
