order to evaluate the performance of the basic Mobile IPv6 
protocol  and  some  of  its  proposed  variations.  The  most 
important  metric  we  are  interested  in  is  the  handover 
latency, which is measured for various combinations of the 
proposed Mobile  IPv6  variations  and  then  this  metric  is 
used, combined with  factors  such as  the complexity of  the 
implementation,  in order  to evaluate and  identify  the best 
possible configuration for the operation of the protocol.1 aBouras, Christos1 aStamos, Kostas1 aAristomenopoulos, G  uhttp://telematics.upatras.gr/telematics/publications/performance-study-mobile-ipv6-protocol-and-its-variations
