行動式IPv6(MIPv6)是為了解決行動裝置在無線網路環境底下移動的問題,快速換手行動式IPv6(FMIPv6)的優點在於擁有較低的換手延遲,階層化行動式IPv6(HMIPv6)則是可以透過使用行動錨點(MAP)來減少換手控制訊號的個數,進而減少本地伺服器(HA)的負載,但是快速換手行動式IPv6(FMIPv6)會造成TCP序號錯亂的問題,階層化行動式IPv6(HMIPv6)的換手延遲過久且會有封包遺失(packet loss)的問題,而快速換手階層化行動式IPv6(F-HMIPv6)結合二者的優點,可以減少本地伺服器(HA)的負載同時擁有較低的換手延遲,然而快速換手階層化行動式IPv6(F-HMIPv6)在巨觀移動(Macro mobility)的情形下,依然會有TCP序號錯亂的問題,且換手時間也比在微觀移動下要長,本文描述多階層式快速換手MIPv6(MF-HMIPv6)如何減少在快速換手階層化行動式IPv6(F-HMIPv6)在巨觀移動(Macro mobility)中TCP序號錯亂的問題,並且更一步減少換手延遲,而模擬結果顯示本文研究的方法確實可以改善TCP序號錯亂、減少封包遺失(packet loss)和降低換手延遲。
MIPv6 is to solve the handoff problem when a mobile device moves in a wireless network seamlessly. The advantage of FMIPv6 is low handoff latency. HMIPv6 can reduce handoff time by using MAP and decrease HA loading. However, FMIPv6 has out-of sequence problem in TCP streams. HMIPv6 experiences the long handoff latency and packet loss condition. F-HMIPv6 combines the advantages of both schemes. It can reduce the HA loading and has low handoff latency. Nevertheless, F-HMIPv6 still has the out-of sequence problem on Macro mobility. Handoff time of Macro mobility is longer than micro mobility. This article describes how MF-FMIPv6 reduce out-of sequence problem probability in TCP streams on Macro mobility and reduce handoff latency. The simulation displays the scheme of this article that improve out-of sequence problem in TCP streams, decrease packet loss condition and reduce handoff latency.
