Performance Evaluation of MACSec for Host Mobility

Sangjun Ahn, Dongcheon Shin

Abstract


It is essential to consider the relationships between each component in the communication infrastructure in order to build and optimize the infrastructure. In this paper, based on the major factors to consider for the optimized communication infrastructure, we propose an enhanced MACSec-based deployment mechanism for communication infrastructure. The proposed MACSec mechanism can replace the IPSec without the additional devices and redesign of the communication infrastructure. In addition, we evaluate the performance of MACSec and IPSec in terms of the major factors such as message overhead, encryption processing, and host mobility. According to the evaluation results, we can say that MACSec is superior to IPSec with regard to mobility as well as hop delay and message overhead.
