Performance Evaluation of NEMO Basic Support Implementations

The NEMO Basic Support protocol was standardized to pro- vide network mobility and has been implemented by several organiza- tions. Though interoperability among those implementations has been confirmed, performance evaluation is one of the important next step to expect deployment in real environments. This paper reports the results of interoperability and performance tests conducted on NEMO Basic Sup- port implementations. The performance tests are targeting the Mobile Routers and are represented with UDP and TCP throughput, Round Trip Time and Handover latency. Although more tests need to be per- formed to conform to real-life usages, the basic features of the implemen- tations have been evaluated.
