Abstract: In this study, we describe the design of a new protocol for transparent routing of IPv6 packets to mobile IPv6 nodes operating in the Internet. IP is the protocol which provides packet routing and delivery services for the Internet and IP version 6 (IPv6) is a new version of IP intended to replace the current version of IP (IPv4). We have designed protocol enhancements for IPv6, known as Mobile IPv6, that allow transparent routing of IPv6 packets to mobile nodes, taking advantage of the opportunities made possible by the design of a new version of IP. In Mobile IPv6, each mobile node is always identified by its home address, regardless of its current point of attachment to the Internet. While away from its home IP subnet, a mobile node is also associated with a care-of address, which indicates the mobile node’s current location. Mobile IPv6 enables any IPv6 node to learn and cache the care-of address associated with a mobile node’s home address and then to send packets destined for the mobile node directly to it at this care-of address using an IPv6 Routing header. All IPv6 nodes, whether mobile or stationary, can communicate with mobile nodes.
