Optimization of the Data Traffic Distribution based on Hierarchical Mobile Networks

Data traffic distribution across heterogeneous mobile networks requires a control management in order to optimize the handoffs between its entities. The more the technologies are evolving, the more complex the distribution of data traffic becomes. The standard MIPv6 and hierarchical MIPv6 mobility management were introduced in order to address the flow mobility of data traffic. This paper exploits the multi-connectivity option for mobile nodes in HMIPv6 in order to utilize the optimum route for the data traffic distribution.
