Abstract

Future wireless networks are expected to be based on coexistence of multiple different access network technologies. Mobile devices will then be equipped with multiple wireless interfaces enabling connectivity to multiple architectures. Different wireless technologies differ widely considering their capabilities and coverage. This requires a mobile host to maintain multiple active connections depending on the applications used and available access networks. To enable this, a mobile host needs to be multihomed and able to direct different traffic flows via different interfaces. This talk presents a project named HybriNet focussing on enabling mobility of services between wired and wireless networks. A proposal extending Mobile IPv6 with multihoming functionality is presented, where multhoming is managed based on IP addresses as well as on protocol ports.
