Performance of WLAN and MANET networks for new auto-configured mobile IP agents

This work presents the performance of WLAN and MANET networks using the auto-configuration of Mobile IP Agents Protocol (DRMIPA). This scheme would allow groups of MIP nodes in WLANs or MANETs to enjoy IP mobility at any foreign or local network that doesn´t implement MIP. To maintain a failure free MIP network, a passive agent is elected from an active agent if this active agent leaves or ceases its participation from current network. The DRMIPA protocol is implemented in WLAN and MANET. A performance analysis is done using a real world testbed scenario.
