Abstract :
Micromobility protocols aim to improve localized mobility by reducing the handover overhead. The Mobility Plane Architecture (MPA) was designed to support micromobility in standard IP or MPLS/GMPLS networks in a network-centric way, that is, the burden demanded by micromobility is placed on the network, not on the mobile nodes. The aim of this paper is to present the reactive and proactive handover procedures supported by MPA, its modeling and performance evaluation. Results show that the proactive handover loses much less packets than reactive handover, being more suited for multimedia traffic.
