Columbia IP Micro-Mobility Suite

Home Overview Software Members Links FAQ

 

The Columbia IP Micro-Mobility Suite (CIMS) includes an ns-2 extension for the followings:

Cellular IP  (draft-ietf-mobileip-cellularip-00.txt)

HAWAII  (draft-ietf-mobileip-hawaii-00.txt)

Hierarchical Mobile IP   (draft-ietf-mobileip-reg-tunnel-04.txt)

The Cellular IP implementation supports hard and semi-soft handoff, and IP paging. The Hawaii implementation supports unicast non-forwarding (UNF) and multiple stream forwarding (MSF) schemes. Hawaii's IP paging capability is currently not supported. In addition, the CIMS v1.0 implementation of Hierarchical Mobile IP does not currently support IP paging. These and other features will be added to the next release of the code - we would be happy to add other extensions developed by other groups too.
