Agenda • Why Mobile IP? • Mobile IPv6 technical overview • Mobile IPv6 vs. Mobile IPv4 • Mobile IPv6 - Enhancements • Mobile IPv6 - Status • Home Networking and Mobile IPv6 • 3G and Mobile IPv6 • SmartMobility Trial – Hong Kong • 6WINIT – IPv6 Wireless Internet Initiative • Questions
Why Mobile IP?(1) • Both ends of TCP connection need to keep the same IP address for the duration of the session • This is the Home Address used for end-to-end communication • IP needs to allocate new address when you move point-of-attachment to the network • This is the Care-of Address used for routing • MobileIP turns mobility problem into routing problem by maintaining a dynamic association between HA and COA known as a Binding

MobileIPv6 Technical Overview(1) • Router advertises routing prefix: • Mobile node auto-configures Care-of Address • Mobile Node sends Binding Updates to Home Agent and Correspondents • Mobile Node is ‘Always-On’ by way of Home Agent 2001:618:6:f1:: 2001:618:6:f1:: + 2d0:b7ff:fe91:5c0c = 2001:618:6:f1:2d0:b7ff:fe91:5c0c

MobileIPv6 vs. MobileIPv4 • Binding Updates allow mobile node to notify correspondents of current location – no ‘dog-leg’ routes • Home Address Option permits topologically correct source address use – eliminates problems with ingress-filters • Routing Headers remove overheads associated with encapsulation • Enough security is built in (although key distribution problematical)
MobileIPv6 – enhancements(1) • Hierarchical MobileIPv6 • AAA interactions • Fast/Smooth/Seamless Handoffs • Header Compression • Enable MobileIPv6 to act as mobility technology within and between cellular networks – All-IP Cellular Networks
Heirarchical MIP Heirarchical MIP MobileIPv6 – enhancements(2) AAA Context Handover
MobileIPv6 - status • Details of IPsec use in MobileIPv6 have been worked out • Base protocol is at Last Call in the IETF • Various interop tests have been successfully completed • Several publicly available implementations
Home networking with IPv6 • Autoconfiguration • Always On • Incoming comms for remote home automation • Security • P2P is growing fast • Large numbers of devices
Home networking & Mobile IPv6(1) User A User B • Without MobileIP, connections from UserA to UserB have to go via ISP A and ISP B • Inefficient routing • Poor scalability • Multiple single-points-of-failure ISP B ISP A
Home networking & Mobile IPv6(2) • MobileIPv6 provides optimal traffic path • Only initial traffic is routed through other ISPs point of attachment • Subsequent traffic routed directly to COA • Improves scalability User A User B ISP B ISP A
IPv6 in 3G networks • IM domain is specified IPv6 only in Release 4/5 • Are terminals dual-stack or IPv6-only? • Is backbone network dual-stack or IPv6-only? • In time all network elements will migrate to an IPv6-only solution • Inter-working uses DSTM? NAT-PT?

3G and MobileIPv6 • MobileIPv6 enables seamless roaming between 3G/cellular environment and fixed home/corporate networks • MobileIPv6 not currently specified in 3GPP
Smart v6 Trial • Collaboration between BT, SmarTone and Ericsson • Intended to demonstrate IPv6 applications, IPv6/IPv4 interworking, IPv6 over GPRS, and MobileIPv6 including intelligent content delivery • Support SmarTone in their bid for a 3G license • 2 day event in Hong Kong October 24th/25th
Smart v6 Trial • Scenario 1: IPv6-only clients, IPv6-only network running Quake, mp3, Video, WWW • Scenario 2: Interworking IPv4 and IPv6 • Scenario 3: MobileIPv6 and content customisation • Scenario 4: Inter-technology handover
