Comprehensive QoS analysis of MIPL based mobile IPv6 using single vs. dual interfaces

Mobile nodes with dual interfaces are not very common and not many studies have been done in this area. In this work, we have done a comprehensive study of dual interfaces on a test-bed to find out the effectiveness of dual interfaces and compared the results with single interface. We have implemented an MIPL based test-bed to study the QoS parameters, which affect mobile nodes, and are considered to be of paramount importance in real time application running on MIPv6 mobile nodes. The hand-off latency, packet loss, data throughput and jitters are the parameters we have considered in this research. Finally, we show a comparison of performance between dual interfaces and single interface on a mobile node.
