| Abstract | The triangular routing is one of the main problem in MIPv4. It leads to many attendant problems including the increment of impact of possible network partitions, load on the network, and delay in delivering packets. The next generation IPv6 is designed to overcome this problem. However, during IPv4 to IPv6 transition period, when Network Address Translation Protocol Translation (NAT-PT) is used to connect IPv4 networks and IPv6 networks together. The triangular routing still occurs. In this research, we study the effect of triangular routing and Mobile IP-Application Layer Gateway (MIP-ALG) in mixed IPv4/IPv6 networks using NS-2. There are three traffic models, used in the simulation: HTTP, FTP and VoIP. The performance evaluation criteria are throughput and mean end-to-end delay. The simulation results show that the triangular routing degrades the performance of the mixed IPv4/IPv6 network. The peak throughput of HTTP and FTP traffics are reduced by triangle routing while it does not affect peak throughput of VoIP traffic. The mean end-to-end delay of three traffics increased 45.45%, 47.61 % and 52.74% for HTTP, FTP and VoIP, respectively. In addition, MIP-ALG can reduce the triangular routing effect, when data is sent from IPv6 network to MIPv4. |
