  1. Next-Generation Mobility Technology & Trials Mat Ford matthew.ford@bt.com

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. Mobile Node TCP connection TCP connection TCP connection Mobile Node Why Mobile IP?(2) Visited Net Visited Net Internet Correspondent Home Net Home Agent Mobile Node

  5. 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

  7. 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)

  8. 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

  9. Heirarchical MIP Heirarchical MIP MobileIPv6 – enhancements(2) AAA Context Handover

  10. 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

  11. Home networking with IPv6 • Autoconfiguration • Always On • Incoming comms for remote home automation • Security • P2P is growing fast • Large numbers of devices

  12. 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

  13. 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

  14. 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?

  16. 3G and MobileIPv6 • MobileIPv6 enables seamless roaming between 3G/cellular environment and fixed home/corporate networks • MobileIPv6 not currently specified in 3GPP

  17. 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

  18. 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
