A Route Optimization Method Using MMA (Middle Mobility Agent) for Mobile IP

Nowadays in mobile and wireless networks environment, Mobile IP is the preferred standard in supporting IP mobility among several standards. However, several problems still need to be solved. One of them is the triangle routing problem. Although drafts have been proposed by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) for solving this problem, the proposed solution can not be achieved unless the draft of the Mobile IP route optimization method becomes a typical standard of the Mobile IP. In this paper, we present an extended routing agent architecture to solve this problem. The Middle Mobility Agent (MMA) in the proposed architecture can intercept datagrams earlier and determine to tunnel the incoming packet or not than the MH¡¦s original home agent. This architecture can solve the triangle routing problem by reducing packet¡¦s routing length. An analytical model and a simulation environment were set up to evaluate and measure the packet¡¦s routing length and delay time of proposed architecture. The evaluation and simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method can reduce the routing length, delay time and solve the triangle routing problem.
