Summary:
Enabling mobility and multihoming over various network protocols improves connectivity and quality of user experiment in the Internet. To realize those functions, Heterogeneity Inclusion and Mobility Adaptation through Locator ID Separation (HIMALIS) has been proposed. However, the special application programing interface (API) requires tiring code modifications. To address this problem, this paper presents an application adaptation method to execute existing network applications in HIMALIS environment without modifications of the existing application source code. We also implement the proposed method and analyze trade-off between the native API and the adaptation method. The experimental results show that throughput degradation led by the adaptation method is negligible, and existing four network applications work with the adaptation method properly.
