Abstract

This paper describes the architecture of a Selfconfiguring Multi-hop mobile Network and a testbed configuration to experiment HMIPv6 seamless mobility management for a MN located in a self-configuring multi-hop network. The testbed comprises of a set of mobile nodes, Internet gateways, access network and the global IPv6 Internet. The mobility of the nodes and the resulting network topology are emulated. A brief overview of the self-configuration mechanism and an enhanced HMIPv6 protocol to work in a self-configuring multi-hop environment is potrayed. In addition, this paper concentrates on the complexities and functionalities involved in the implementation of the proposed architecture.
