PERIMETER: A User-Centric Mobility Framework

This demo shows a prototype of a user-centric mobility framework that provides handover for macro-mobility on handheld devices. The framework is designed for mobile-controlled handover and does not require modification of the Internet infrastructure. The end-users are so able to control the roaming process governed by user considerations in addition to business objectives. To achieve seamless mobility UDP tunneling is used as a basis for the handover process. Additionally, measurements are performed on the tunnels to acquire Quality of Service (QoS) metrics and hence serve for roaming decision making processes.
