Abstract

Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) protocol is a new protocol designed to support the node mobility of IPv6 protocol, which is a basic protocol of the next generation Internet. Protocol testing consists of conformance testing, interoperability testing and performance testing. Protocol emulation testing, which we adopt in this paper, is a way of protocol testing. This paper designs an emulation-based method for performance testing of mobile IPv6 protocol, gives performance evaluation metrics in view of the three kinds of MIPv6 nodes (HA, home agent; MN, mobile node; CN, correspondent node), tests and analyzes MIPL 1.1 on Linux 2.4.26. Our method is easy to implement on commonly used hardware, very convenient to deploy and more flexible compared to most commercial test instruments. As far as we know, this is the first work on the research of performance testing of Mobile IPv6 protocol.
