Abstmct -This paper concentrates on tbe scalability aspects of mobility management, particularly mobility mtbin an Access Network ('micr*mobllity').It is argued that tbe normal classification of mobility protocols as tunnel-based or per hnst forwarding solutions is not useful from a scslability viewpoint.Tbree aspects of scalability are identified terminal, geographic and throughput. The paper argues that terminal scalability is not a major issue, given assumptions about address allocation, whilst geographical and throughput scalability require the suppofi of arbitrary topologies, and multiple gateways to the Access Network Four exemplar micromobility protocols are dscussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
