Method for assigning a virtual-ip zone in a mobile ipv6 system

摘要

Disclosed is a method of forming access routers into a virtual-IP zone in a Hierarchical Mobile IP (HMIP) system. The method includes reporting a higher-than-threshold state message to a mobility anchor point by each access router if the number of mobile nodes located in its region and the number of mobile nodes being handed over exceed a predetermined threshold; the mobility anchor point sending a virtual-IP zone forming command for grouping access routers into one group to the access routers if a state report message indicating a higher-than-threshold state is received; and the access routers receiving the virtual-IP zone forming command simulcasting an identical virtual-IP zone's network prefix included in the virtual-IP zone forming command , for grouping. <IMAGE>
