Comparision study of MobileIPv4 and MobileIPv6

Abstract

IPv4 is being replaced by IPv6 due to the increased demand from mobility devices. However, it is necessary that there is a lack of research on what change actually means for the performance of mobility. This research aims at comparing Mobile IPv4 and Mobile IPv6 in terms of performance on latency, TCP/UDP throughput, and connectivity loss while roaming. Thus the study will explore the effects of the future implementation of Mobile IPv6 for mobile devices.
