The increasing presence of ubiquitous mobile computing devices requiring uninterrupted Internet access has prompted a higher need to support efficient and seamless roaming. The introduction of micro mobility is an approach towards a more flexible, customizable and scalable mobility architecture that also reduces signaling load and handover latency. Micro-cell Mobile MPLS (MM-MPLS) is such a protocol. It extends MPLS, a successful routing/forwarding technology of the core of the Internet, to the micro-mobility environment. MM-MPLS reduces the delay and delay jitter of a roaming mobile host.
This thesis describes the implementation of experimental MM-MPLS based network. The developed testbed is composed of seven desktop-PC running on the Linux operation system.
Performance comparisons of MM-MPLS and the hierarchical mobile IP have confirmed the proper operation of the testbed and the superiority of the protocol.
