Abstract :
This paper presents a practical evaluation of the IPv6 mobility service recently opened by the Nautilus6 working group to make the usage of Mobile IPv6 accessible to a wide range of people. The mentioned service also aims at demonstrating by the practice the feasibility of a Mobile IPv6 deployment and thus contributing to the spread of this mobility protocol. The service presented in this paper is structured around three distinct entities: a Home Agent which is the main server for mobility, a web interface to simplify the operations involving the user and a Live CD as an immediate tool to use the service. This paper also introduces the SONAR measurement tool and presents a concrete example of how it can be used to monitor the activity of a Home Agent. Finally this document proposes solutions for a better Mobile IPv6 experience with the latter service, based on the results of an experiment held during a four-day conference.
