摘要:
A novel scheme for integrating mobile IPv6 and multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) is proposed to solve the problems of long label switching path (LSP) establishment latency and excessive signaling redundancy in existing integration schemes. A new IPv6 hop-by-hop option header named MPLS header is defined, which includes some information about setting up or maintaining LSP. MPLS header is put in the binding update message of mobile IPv6 protocol. When network nodes receive this message, they set up or maintain LSP in terms of MPLS header. Thus, the processes of binding update and setting up or maintaining LSP are carried out simultaneously. In addition, the scheme can integrate micro-mobility protocols naturally, resulting in rebuilding LSP quickly after MH's (mobile host) switching within a region. Simulation analysis shows that the handoff latency in the scheme is smaller than that in the existing schemes, and with increasing the distance between MH and its correspondent host, the increase range of LSP establishment latency of the proposed scheme is less than that of existing schemes, which means the optimization is realized.
