AbstractHierarchical Mobile 1Pv6 (HMIPv6) is the proposed potocol to improve the performance of Mobile 1Pv6 by reducing packet loss and signaling traffic in the Internet. Hierarchical Mobile 1Pv6 uses Mobility Anchor Point (MAP) as a central point to assist with Mobile IP handoffs in MAP domain. Mobile 1Pv6 (MIPv6) can also reduce the packet loss by sending Binding Update to its previous base station which is the location of its previous Care-of Address. In this thesis study, the performance of Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 has been evaluated and compared to the performance of Mobile IPv6 both with (MIPv6f) and without (MIPv6n) forwarding packet from previous Care-of Address mechanism. The influence of the link delay, local movement probability and mobility rate are investigated. The mobility rates in the range of 2 to 12 handoffs per second have been investigated. To study the influence of mobility rate and local movement probability, three cases of link delay values have been used. The simulation results show that Hierarchical Mobile 1Pv6 can reduce the outgoing signaling when Mobile Node has high local movement probability. Considering throughput, HMIPv6 and MIPv6f perform the same as MIPv6n for small link delay. HMIP and MIPv6f perform better than MIPv6n in high link delay network. If the mean end-to-end delay is considered, MIPv6n has lowest end-to-end packet delay, but MIPv6n has more packet loss than MIPv6f and HMIPv6. HMIPv6 performs better than the other studied schemes when the local movement probability, mobility rate and link delay are high.
