IMM-I46: Inter Mobility Management for an Integrated IPv4 and IPv6 Network

Mobility is becoming ubiquitous now-a-days. Mobility management has been a growing concern in IPv6 with numerous problems originating from roaming between IPv6 and IPv4 access networks owing to ever-growing research. The various architectures concerning transition / mobility among IPv6 and IPv4 are studied. The study reveals that only IPv6 initiated communications (from IPv6 based network) with IPv4 nodes (in IPv4 based network) are considered. The existing architectures in the study do not consider the scenarios such as the IPv6 nodes visiting IPv4 network; IPv4 nodes visiting IPv6 network; IPv4 initiated communications with other nodes irrespective of IP version of network. The newly proposed mobility management system for the integrated IPv4 and IPv6 networks is referred to as IMM-I46 and provides a detailed solution that can be implemented immediately. The proposed IMM-I46 system helps IPv6 mobile users to roam freely also into IPv4 based networks besides roaming in IPv6 networks, get serviced, connected with internet and vice versa.
