An Enhanced Method to Improve Proxy Mobile IPv6 Efficiency through Software-Defined Network

This suggested method, called the Software Defined Open-Flow Mechanism of PMIPv6 (SD-PMIPv6), modifies the Proxy Mobile IPv6 protocol to match the Augmented Open-Flow architecture. The flexibility aspects of the PMIPv6 components, including the Mobile Access Gateway (MAG) and Local Mobility Anchor (LMA), are broken apart and rebuilt to make use of the Open-Flow strategy. The LMA components, which serve as the network’s Open-Flow controller for the switches, maintain the mobile node’s (MN) location. The contact access entities that are capable of managing MAG signals interact with the MN. The recommended approach has two primary objectives: (a) separating the control and data planes; and (b) shortening the handover delay.
