IP micromobility and QoS virtual network testbed

Abstract

SUMMARYThis paper examines issues related to the interaction of QoS and IP micromobility management. More precisely, the inter-working of a tunnel-based IP micromobility management with the bandwidth broker QoS control plane is considered. Furthermore, the implementation of the system is detailed and it is tested using a virtual network testbed, based on 'user-mode-Linux'. Finally, as a proof of concept the signalling between the different entities is examined with the protocol analyser 'ethereal'.
