Abstract—The separation of host identifier (ID) and locator (LOC) is essential to support mobile environments in a permanent manner. Two up-to-date protocols, mobile oriented future internet (MOFI) and network-based host identifier locator separating protocol (NHILS), are ID/LOC separation architectures by using a distributed hash table. MOFI is a host-based mobility protocol and operates over traditional network environments, whereas NHILS is a network-based protocol and operates in software defined networks (SDN). In this paper, we present the cost model of each MOFI and NHILS, and conduct performance analysis for comparison. From numerical results, impact factors are confirmed in terms of signaling and data delivery, and the advantages and disadvantages of each protocol are produced. In addition, we explain the effect of adopting SDN on cost.
Index Terms—Identifier locator separation, MOFI, NHILS, performance analysis, software defined networks.
