1 Introduction

This document explains how to configure a testbed to test a macromobility protocol (Mobile IPv6) and a micromobility protocol (Cellular IPv6), using Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6).

The testbed looks like the following figure:

Figure 1

This testbed consists in a set of PCs and a Mobile Host that moves between these PCs.

The Mobile Host has a communication with the Correspondent Node and while the Mobile Host is moving from one Base Station to another Base Station (in the figure 1, PCs with a small antenna), performing handoffs, the communication with the Correspondent Node is held completely transparent for the user.

The communication between the Mobile Host and the Base Stations is made using 802.11, a Wireless Technology.

First, we will explain how to prepare the testbed to work with IPv6 and then we will show how to install Mobile IPv6 and Cellular IPv6.
