Subject: [Mobopts] Performance evaluation of L3 transport for IEEE 802.21
 protocol
Precedence: list
Errors-To: mobopts-bounces@irtf.org

Hello Everyone,

The IEEE 802.21 Media Independent Handover (MIH) working group is=20
developing a set of mechanisms to facilitate migration of mobile users=20
between access networks that use different link-layer technologies.=20
Among these are mobility managers that create and process signaling=20
messages to facilitate handovers. These messages are carried by a=20
transport protocol to be defined by the IETF's MIPSHOP group. Both TCP=20
and UDP architectures are currently being considered.

The main goals of our study are to evaluate both protocols under=20
consideration in order to reveal useful insights and performance trends.=20
Performance results based on simulation and analytical models are=20
obtained for the L3 transport of MIH messages using TCP and UDP for=20
different network scenarios and MIH configuration settings.
