In full-IP networks, IP-based protocols are used for mobility management. Therefore, one of the most important issues is to design efficient IP-based mobility management schemes and evaluate their performance. In a recent work we proposed an integration of mobile-IP with OLSR, a routing protocol for ad-hoc networks, to manage universal mobility. In this paper we present the performance measurements of this implementation in the presence of both macro-mobility and micro-mobility. The measurements we obtained justify the choice of OLSK for managing micro-mobility and show the advantage of using multipoint relays to optimize flooding of mobile-IP Agent Advertisements in the ad-hoc network.
