Mobile Networking Technology Within INSC

Abstract

We provide an overview of the INSC Mobility Task area efforts including: a brief overview of technology areas investigated, a discussion of research developments, and example results from experimentation and demonstration. The main areas investigated were Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) routing and mobile IP version 6 (MIPv6) protocols. Early simulation efforts were performed along with more recent network emulation and live experimentation. Network mobility experimentation and demonstration has taken place in both localized, controlled coalition environments and between participating coalition laboratory sites across the INSC WAN. The localized testing environments enabled more meaningful performance analysis while the WAN tests have demonstrated architectural and interoperable functionality. Example results are presented describing example MANET routing and MIPv6 performance analysis. Finally, some early lessons learned are discussed along with recommended areas of further work.
