Hierarchical Mobility Label Based Network (HMLBN) is a new approach to the\nnetwork layer mobility management problem that relies on MPLS-aware control\nplane and MPLS-based forwarding plane to provide IP mobility support for IPv4\nand IPv6 mobile hosts and routers while being able to ensure optimal traffic\ndelivery between the communicating devices. The hierarchical system is capable\nof both macro- and micro-mobility support without the use of Mobile IP and its\nderivatives thus eliminating the user and network facing performance penalties\nassociated with triangular routing and bi-directional tunneling. This paper\npresents a system model and provides performance analysis for H-MLBN and\ncompares its performance with the Mobile IP based schemes. The results indicate\nsignificant performance improvements in the forwarding plane traffic delivery\nas well as the control plane network update costs.\n
