Abstract:

An end to end adaptive multi-protocol label switching (MPLS)based fast handover method for mobile IP(MIP) was proposed to improve the flexibility and scalability of MIP over MPLS. The new method was based on the hierarchical structure of network in operation. Through installing and timely refreshing a mobile node(MN) list in each label switched router (LSR),the deployment of regional foreign agent (RFA) could be optimised dynamically in a distributed way. Theoretical analysis demonstrates that the new method is transparent to the upper layer applications and underlying network services, backward compatible, easy to deploy and cost effective.

Key words: mobile IP, fast handover, multi-protocol label swiTching
