Title : Seamless Multicast Handover in a Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 Environment (M-HMIPv6)
Author(s) : T. Schmidt, M. Waehlisch
Filename : draft-schmidt-waehlisch-mhmipv6-04.txt
Pages : 17

This document extends the Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 Internet Draft to
include the reception and transmission of Any Source Multicast
traffic at the Mobile Node. It introduces handover mechanisms for
IPv6 mobile multicast listeners and mobile multicast senders.
Operations are based on a Mobile IPv6 environment with local mobility
anchor points. These local anchor points are conformal with a
Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 proxy infrastructure. Handover latencies in
the proposed scheme remain bound to link switching delays with
respect to these local proxy points. Thus the M-HMIPv6 achieves
seamless mobility, even though no bicasting of multicast streams is
used. Multicast listeners in addition encounter the option to
optimize multicast routing by turning to a direct data reception.
The mechanisms described in this document do not rely on assumptions
of any specific multicast routing protocol in use. The M-HMIPv6
protocol operations utilize the existing HMIPv6, MIPv6 and MLDv2
messages under minor extensions.

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.
