This study addresses the critical challenge of mobility management in Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs), focusing on the performance comparison of various Mobility Management Protocols (MMPs). The diverse range of MMPs, including Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6), Fast PMIPv6 (FPMIPv6), Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6), Hierarchical MIPv6 (HMIPv6), Fast MIPv6 (FMIPv6), and Fast Hierarchical MIPv6 (FHMIPv6), present distinct advantages and limitations in terms of performance, scalability, security, and flexibility. Selecting the most suitable MMP for a given WMN application is a complex task, primarily due to the lack of comprehensive evaluation metrics that accurately reflect network efficiency. Furthermore, quantitative performance comparisons among these protocols are notably scarcen in existing research. Therefore, this research aims to contribute by categorizing MMPs applicable in Inter network WMN environments, developing a simulated WMN environment using the Network Simulator (NS-2), and conducting a thorough performance evaluation of various MMPs. Based on the result, the PMIPv6 outperform and able to provide 99.99% in packet delivery ratio, highest throughput compares to other MMPs. The outcomes of this study are expected to provide valuable insights for guiding the selection of MMPs based on specific application requirements, thereby contributing to the advancement of efficient and reliable WMN deployments
