摘要：Network mobility nowadays plays the most crucial roles in delivering seamless mobility connectivity to billions of users around the world, and mostly the process of providing quality services are transparent from users involvement. While the world itself in the midst of transitioning of the Internet Protocol (IP), IPv4 and IPv6 nodes will roam across the network. However, the current state of implementation and the introduction of the current transition scenario is not focused on the implementation of mobility communications. The trend of increasing users mobility and the demand of speeding up the transition to IPv6 has obviously triggered the need for developing network mobility management suited for the mixed-IP environment. Current mobility protocols tightly coupled with the IP version due to the particularities of the protocols itself. Considering the scenario IPv6 will become the only protocol version eventually, the deployment will utilize the IPv6 mobility platform to support the dual stack environment. The goal of this investigation is to analyze and evaluate the different in existing IP mobility solution operating in mobile IP network, pinpointing each solution shortcoming and suggesting methods for improving the issues including handover latency, packet loss, and delivery failure, and signaling overhead issues in IP mobility management support protocol to suit the IP mobility support protocol in the mixed IP network environment. This article will present a study of the mechanism involved in various mobility protocols that have been standardized to study the best solution for the implementation of dual stack mobility management.
