Mobility and multihoming are usually considered as separate concepts and thus, they are handled by distinct protocols. Instead, our approach in this paper reverses that paradigm by proposing a unified solution that jointly manages both mobility and multihoming. Our solution is based on two protocols standardized by the IETF: Shim6 which provides a multihoming support to the end-hosts and mobile IPv6...
The new Internet terminals are at the same time mobile and multihomed since they are able to change their point of attachment to the network, and embed several network interfaces. Each one can be attached to a different network. Multihoming and mobility are generally considered as two separate concepts and thus are handled by different protocols. Nontheless, mobility and multihoming share the same...
The growing demand for ubiquitous computing lead manufactures to develop multi-band devices supporting different network access technologies, such as GSM, Wi-fi, and UMTS. Although these devices support different access technologies, they lack of native vertical handover support, breaking any ongoing connections whenever users switch between access technologies. In this paper we present a next-generation...
Internet population is growing quickly: 1.8 billion people were connected to the Internet at the end of 2009 and this number is expected to grow to 2.2 billions within 2013. Right now, these people are, and will be even more surrounded by heterogeneous devices with advanced networking and rendering capabilities; in their daily life, they will demand a wide set of services and the opportunity to access...
Peer-to-peer content-distribution networks are nowadays highly popular among users that have stationary computers with high-bandwidth Internet connections. Mobile devices (e.g. cell phones) that are connected to the Internet via cellular-radio networks, however, could not yet be launched into this field to a satisfactory extent. Although most mobile devices have the necessary hardware resources for...
The session initiation protocol (SIP) is an IETF standardised protocol for multimedia signalling and communication over the internet. SIP has been used in many deployments in client-server architecture. However, this configuration potentially possesses various scalability and redundancy limitations because its architecture relies on various centralised components. To overcome some of these limitations,...
In the current Internet, hosts are identified using IP addresses that depend on the topological location of the hosts. In other words, the IP addresses are semantically overloaded since they identify both hosts and topological locations. The host identity protocol (HIP) introduces a way of separating the location and host identity information. It introduces a new namespace, cryptographic in nature,...
