A rapid growth of IP-based networks and services has created the vast collection of resources and functionality available to users by means of a universal method of access - an IP protocol. At the same time, advances in design of mobile electronic devices have allowed them to reach utility level comparable to stationary, desktop computers, while still retaining their mobility advantage. Following this trend multiple extensions to the base IP protocol stack have been developed, devoted to user mobility support. In this paper we present a short overview of the most popular methods of handling mobility in IPv4 and IPv6 networks, along with their overall performance analysis and comparison. Critical performance issues of IP mobility mechanisms are presented, as well as optimizations proposed in standardized solutions.
