Research And Design Of Micro-Mobile Router Based On IXP425

The information technology is developing increasingly fast and new services are booming. A big number of people want to have access to Internet in mobile environment using kinds of wireless equipment using IP technology. This depends on the network which support not only the mobility of single terminal but also the mobility of sub-network or a network. The mobile Internet contains mobile sub-network or network and mobile terminal, and its nature is that the topology of Internet is constantly changing caused by the movement of routers or hosts.The most important equipment of mobile Internet is Mobile Router. IXP425 network processor has the features that it is small, low power needed, portable, and capable of processing network data in high speed and it can have extensions such as wireless network adapter card. The hardware of Mobile Router can be based on it. All the features of mobile Internet require that Mobile Router must be small, portable, limited in power and so on. In this situation, the architecture of traditional router is not good enough, and we must find out some now solution to face the requirements above.The hardware architecture based on IXP425 of Mobile Router has been researched and design in this thesis, and also the software of the Router. A solution of Mobile Router is found out finally. Referencing to the software developed by Go-Core project of HUT (Helsinki University of Technology) and WIDE (Widely Integrated Distributed Environment) organization, a primitive Mobile Router has been implemented. Mobile IPv6 and NEMO is supported by this primitive machine and the mobility of network has been implemented. Hosts in the mobile network are not necessary to support mobile IPv6 and the Mobile Router can provide route for them.
