	Title		: Simultaneous Bindings for Mobile IPv6 Fast Handoffs

Fast Handover for Mobile IPv6 [1] and describes protocols that 
minimise the amount of service disruption when performing layer-3 
handovers. This draft extends the Fast Handover protocol with a 
simultaneous bindings function and the BETH capabilities with a 
bicasting function to minimise packet loss at the MN. Traffic for the 
MN is therefore bicast or n-cast for a short period to its current 
location and to one or more locations where the MN is expected to 
move to shortly. This removes the timing ambiguity regarding when to 
start sending traffic for the MN to its new point of attachment 
following a Fast Handover and allows the decoupling of layer-2 and 
layer-3 handovers. It also saves the MN periods of service disruption 
in the case of ping-pong movement.

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.
