This document provides an overview of Mobile IPv6, including key terminology, operations, and mechanisms. It discusses features like address autoconfiguration, extension headers, and binding updates. The core operations of Mobile IPv6 involve a mobile node discovering a care-of address, registering that address with its home agent, and tunneling packets to its current location. Route optimization and dynamic home agent discovery are also covered to improve efficiency.

2. Features of IPv6 128 bit address. Address Auto configuration An IPv6 node configurs it address automatically by using the router advertisements and it’s interface id. Extension Headers Routing header For route optimization Destination Options header For mobile node originated datagrams [ ]

3. Mobile IPv6 Terminology Mobile Node The node which moves between the networks. Home Agent The node in the Home network which knows the information(like current location...etc) about the mobile node’s, which belongs to that network. Correspondent Node Any node which contacts the Mobile node. [ ]

4. Mobile IPv6 Terminology (Continued) Home Address Address of the Mobile Node in the Home Network Care-of Address Addess of the Mobile Node in the Foreign network [ ] Home Link The link on which a mobile node's home subnet prefix is defined. Standard IP routing mechanisms will deliver packets destined for a mobile node's home address to its home link.

5. [ ] Foreign Link Any link other than the mobile node's home link. Binding The association of the home address of amobile node with a care-of address for that mobile node.

6. Mobile IPv6 Operation Mobile IPv6 operation can be divided in to 3 parts Discovering the care-of address Registering the care-of address Tunneling to the care-of address [ ]

7. Mobile IPv6 Operation (cont...) Discovering the care-of address A Mobile Node( MN ) performs address autoconfiguration to get its care-of address Resists ering the care-of address The MN registers its care-of address with its home agent by sending a Binding Update request to it’s Home Agent (HA) HA sedns a Binding Acknowledgement to the corresponding mobile node.

9. Mobile IPv6 address updates [ ] Mobile Node Home Agent Binding Update Ack Mobile Node needs to update the Home Agent on it’s current location Binding Update message The Home Agent keeps this binding for future use Mobile Node

10. Triangle Routing [ ]

11. Route Optimization MN may bind BU in pkts to CN, allowing CN to directly send pkts to MN CN receive a pkt with BU in it, then update its Binding Cache Just like any IPv6 node , every time it attempt to sent pkts, it check its Binding Cache: If there is an entry with CoA of the destination, use the CoA Otherwise, use the origin address [ ]

12. [ ] Route Optimization

13. While away from home, an MN selects one router and one subnet prefix advertised by that router to use as the subnet prefix in its primary care-of address To wait for the periodically sent Router Advertisements [ ] Movement Detection

14. [ ] Dynamic Home Agent Address Discovery It is possible that when the mobile node needs to send a Binding Update to its home agent to register its new primary care-of address, the mobile node may not know the address of any router on its home link that can serve as a home agent for it.

16. Conclusions Mobile IPv6 is An efficient protocol for handling mobility with IPv6 To minimize the control traffic needed to effect mobility [ ]
