The Proposal and Evaluation of AAA for Bootstrapping Mobile IPv6 and ISATAP

This paper proposes a way for IP terminal to bootstrap (initialize and start up) IP network services (e.g. MlPv6, ISATAP) from scratch, shows the differences and benefits comparing with the current art of bootstrapping, and evaluates it in terms of the performance measured in our test-bed. When bootstrapping IP network services, the important aspects include how to discover the servers (or routers) serving a specific service (either statically or dynamically), what kind of parameters need to be known by the clients and servers (or routers) prior to bootstrapping these services, and how the servers (or routers) authenticate and authorize the IP terminals (or/and vice versa). Our proposal makes use of AAA (Authentication, Authorization and Accounting) framework to get around these important points. The reason why our proposal is based on AAA framework is that 1) in most cases IP terminals start the authentication and authorization process at the beginning before accessing the commercial IP network, 2) an authenticated or secured communication can be assumed between an IP terminal and an AAA server during AAA operation and 3) it can be used to provide IP network services that requires some authentication. The IP terminal that we have focused in is the mobile terminal because it will frequently bootstrap, e.g. when powered on, when brought to the new mobile networks (roaming).
