Performance Evaluation of Mobile IP Agents' Auto-reconfiguration Mechanisms in MANET

This paper presents a Dynamic Reconfiguration of Mobile IP Agents (DRMIPA) and failure free architecture integrated in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs). The proposal is due to the fact that: actual infra-structured networks do not implement the Mobile IP (MIP) protocol, all MIP agents are static and the cost of having redundancy for MIP agents' failure is often high. As MANETs are created temporarily at any location, we propose a solution that would allow the integration of MIP with MANET. Doing so, groups of MIP nodes in MANETs would enjoy the IP mobility at any foreign or local network that doesn't implement MIP. New algorithms and messages are proposed for the new Dynamic Reconfiguration and fault tolerant Mobile IP Agents in MANET. A simulation performance analysis using the Network Simulator (NS2) is presented
