Performance Analysis of Authentication Method for Proxy Mobile IP Protocol

Proxy mobile ipv6 (PMIPv6) protocol is a networkbased mobility management protocol where many mobility messages performed by a network entity on behalf of a mobile node. In order to protect this protocol, an authentication method based on authentication option is presented in this paper. We also develop an analytic model to evaluate the performance of this PMIPv6 authentication protocol. Keywords-proxy mobile ipv6;authentication;performance
