Multihoming Management for Future Networks

Multihoming for Mobile Internet of Multimedia Things

“…Important state-of-the-art reference papers [14][15][16] differentiate between the end-host and end-site multihoming. Endsite multihoming has gained more attention than end-host multihoming, mainly due to the routing scalability problems that Internet is facing and because of the ascension of Mobile Edge Computing.…”

“…LISP is mentioned in [15] as a method for end-site multihoming but an evaluation of its efficiency is not included; our paper aims to bring such an evaluation. Reference [15] also considers multihoming based on transport protocols, including the well-known method of Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) multihoming, evaluated in [16,17].…”

“…Reference [15] also considers multihoming based on transport protocols, including the well-known method of Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) multihoming, evaluated in [16,17]. SCTP, despite having some advantages, has the main disadvantage that it operates at the transport layer.…”

“…Although not included in this category by the survey in [15], NEMO (Network Mobility) is also considered in the related work for end-site mobility [18], as it manages the mobility of a network of nodes that are typically moving in tandem [19]. Separation between location and identity for the case of multihoming is also mentioned in [20], but using the ILNPv6 protocol.…”

Mobility and Network Management in Virtualized Networks

“…The first special issue [2] addressed key topics in heterogeneous mobile networks, such as wireless access selection [3], autonomic management [4], multihoming management [5], and mobility management [6]. The papers included in this second special issue constitute the perfect complement to the Proceedings of the ICST Conference on Mobile Networks and Management (MONAMI) [7], which is organized for a fourth consecutive year in September 2012, in Hamburg, Germany.…”
