Abstract
Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) is a protocol developed as a subset of Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) to support mobile connections. MIPv6 allows a mobile node to transparently maintain connections while moving from one subnet to another. Each device is identified by its home address although it may be connecting to through another network. When connecting through a foreign network, a mobile device sends its location information to a home agent, which intercepts packets, intended for the device and tunnels them to the current location. If a node is a web server, and another node will try to access it, it is very easy if it knows the IP address of the web server. As practiced, we use the domain name when searching for websites other than the IP address. This paper suggests an IP lookup in Mobile IPv6 environment. This method utilizes the DNS lookup.
