Title : Fast Handovers for Mobile IPv6
Author(s) : R. Koodli
Filename : draft-ietf-mobileip-fast-mipv6-06.txt
Pages : 46
Date : 2003-3-5
Mobile IPv6 describes how a Mobile Node can maintain connectivity
to the Internet when it changes its Access Router for another, a
process referred to as handover. During this process, there is
a time period when the Mobile Node is unable to send or receive
IPv6 packets both due to link switching delay and IP protocol
operations. This time period is referred to as handover latency. In
many instances, the handover latency resulting from standard Mobile
IPv6 handover procedures could be greater than what is acceptable
to support real-time or delay sensitive traffic. Furthermore,
reducing the handover latency could be beneficial to non real-time,
throughput-sensitive applications as well. The intent of this
document is to describe protocol enhancements to reduce handover
latency due to IP protocol operations as small as possible in
comparison to the inevitable link switching latency.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
