- This was the first empirical evaluation of the performance of Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6), the current standard for Internet Protocol mobility, looking at issues caused by connectivity changes during mobility, with a comparison to mobility with the Identifier-Locator Network Protocol (ILNP), an experimental, next-generation Internet Protocol. The experiments, using the Linux operating system, showed that ILNP out-performs MIPv6 in all scenarios, and can work with existing applications and networks without major changes in either. With the novel signalling for soft-handoff at the Internet Protocol (IP) level, ILNP has near-zero gratuitous loss during connectivity changes, and the mechanism can be used with any higher-layer protocols and applications.
