  Abstract

This paper presents an efficient interoperation scheme of a VPN(Virtual Private Network) and Mobile IP using a hierarchical structure of a FA(Foreign Agent). In the proposed scheme, the GFA(Gateway Foreign Agent) plays a role of VPN gateway on behalf of the MN(Mobile Node). When the MN moves in the same GFA domain, because the GFA has already an IPsec security association with a VPN gateway in the home network of the MN, the MN does not need an IPsec re-negotiaion. In this way, our mechanism reduces a message overhead and a delay resulted from an IPsec negotiation. And a MN can send a data to a correspondent node without a packet leakage. We show a performance of our scheme by using a discrete analytical model. Analytical results demonstrated that the total processing cost calculated by a registration update cost and a packet delivery cost is significantly reduced through our proposed scheme.
