Abstract: The present work is a dynamic route optimisation in nested multihomed mobile network. The mobile network node sends a request message to a local fixed node inside the mobile network to initiate a session. The local fixed node executes route selection algorithm to select the optimal route for the desired session of the mobile network node and delivers the packets corresponding to the desired session of the mobile network node using the optimal route to the internet. The mobile routers associated with the optimal route execute egress interface selection algorithm to select the best egress interface and deliver the packets corresponding to the desired session of the mobile network node using the best egress interface to the next hop of the selected route. The performance of the proposed work is evaluated on the basis of throughput, session loss and route selection time using NEMO_SIM simulator. Results based on a detailed performance evaluation study are also presented to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed scheme.

Keywords: multihomed mobile networks; multimedia traffic; mobile routers; dynamic route optimisation; route selection; egress interface selection.
