ABSTRACT: Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6)
is a network based mobility management protocol. It is proposed by the Internet
Engineering Task Force. In PMIPv6 the Mobile Node (MN) need not participate in
signalling of mobility. PMIPv6 is a layer 3 protocol. In this paper the issue
of layer 3 mobility is resolved by the Enhanced Open Flow Technique (EOFT).
Generally, the open flow protocol makes functions on network devices, routers,
switches. Open flow controller act as server for networkdevices to make communication between
them. In the proposed EOFT-PMIPv6, the controlsignalling and mobility is managed by
EOFT controller. In PMIPv6, the Mobility Access gateway (MAG) has the
responsibility of the control signalling. But in the EOFT-PMIPv6, the
responsibility of MAG is done by the EOFT-Controller. In the proposed
technique, the mobility management function is isolated from PMIPv6 mechanisms.
These isolated mechanisms are combined in the EOFT-Con- troller. This
EOFT-Controller satisfies the responsibility of the mechanisms which are
separated from PMIPv6. The eminent mobile environment must provide the
efficient multi-homing protocols. The proposed technique overcomes the problem
of multihoming in PMIPv6. The EOFT-Controller takeover the responsibility of
Layer 3 functions. Also, the proposed technique combines with Modified Mobility
Access Gateway (M_MAG) and it handles the handover session dynamically. This
paper provides the extended architecture of EOFT-PMIPv6 and provide unbeaten
handover scheme for multi-homing. The result is provided by systematic analysis
based on comparison with PMIPv6 and EOFT-PMIPv6 is obtained.
