A Shim6-Based Dynamic Path-Selection Mechanism for Multi-homing

Multi-homing has been widely adopted in today’s Internet. Several solutions have been proposed to support multi-homing, and Shim6 became most promising for IPv6-based next generation Internet. This paper proposes a Shim6-based dynamic path-selection mechanism, which selects path adaptively to earn higher bandwidth utilities and better performance. The experiment result shows that the new mechanism will bring a 20% performance improvement.
