WirelessHost6

compound module

A wireless mobile node with IPv6 and Mobile IPv6 support. Combines wireless connectivity with mobility management capabilities, allowing it to maintain network connections while moving between different wireless networks.

This module extends StandardHost6 by adding a wireless interface and Mobile IPv6 functionality. It is designed to work in infrastructure mode, connecting to access points and performing handovers when moving between different wireless networks.
