Management of user at the network layer plays an important role in efficient network operation. In the paper, authors' implementation of one of network-based mobility management models, namely Proxy Mobile IPv6, is presented and tested in a number of networking topologies and communication scenarios. The proposed implementation covers PMPIv6 functionality with optional security extensions (use of Diameter protocol) and handover improvements (ensuring higher effectiveness of mobility management in IEEE 802.11 local networks). In the paper three reference scenarios are described and investigated. The obtained results show, that the authors' extensions of PMIPv6 protocol are easy in implementation, while providing mobile users with, ability to change their point of network attachment in effective and secure manner.
