Abstract:
As a network evolution goal, IPv6 is deployed in mobile network, including access network, core network and mobile carrier IP network. IPv6 introduction in mobile network will impact on Quality of Service (QoS) of mobile services. In this paper, a flow label based QoS scheme is proposed to improve QoS in mobile network. This scheme utilizes the flow label in IPv6 packet header to indentify the services and flows and make the mobile network and carrier IP network entities to perceive the existence of flows and control them. Particularly, the experiment results based this scheme indicate that it has the finest granularity of QoS and minimizes the affected flows with the help of flow label.
