Gestion de la Mobilité

Most of smart-phones are equipped with several network interfaces. This evolution highlights the benefits of multi-homing which offer user access to services not only anywhere, at any time and from any network but also simultaneously. Due to the lack of multi-homing support in existing protocols, several issues remain. The main issue is to manage several paths between two communicating nodes at a time in a mobile environment, and despite multiple paths, make sure end nodes correspond to the source and destination terminals. This paper proposes a SHIM6-based solution for the mobility management of mobile terminals in multi-homing context.
