A Study of Route Optimization Support in Distributed Mobility Management

摘要

This paper presents a detailed comparative study of centralized mobility management and distributed mobility management. This paper also surveys the current issues in centralized mobility management and discusses the related work of distributed mobility management approach. We provide the proposed distributed mobility management scheme by using a novel architectural element named location management mobility routing anchor (LMMRA). The LMMRA supports both location management and dynamic distributed mobility routing functionalities. Our approach overcomes some of the major limitations of centralized IP mobility management solutions, such as well-known network bottleneck, scalability, and single point of failures.
