This draft is a work item of the MIPv6 Signaling and Handoff Optimization Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Fast Handovers for Mobile IPv6
Author(s) : R. Koodli
Filename : draft-ietf-mipshop-fmipv6-rev-00.txt
Pages : 41
Date : 2006-4-17
Mobile IPv6 enables a Mobile Node to maintain its connectivity to
the Internet when moving from an Access Router to another, a process
referred to as handover. During handover, there is a period when
the Mobile Node is unable to send or receive packets due to both
link switching delay and IP protocol operations. This ``handover
latency'' resulting from standard Mobile IPv6 procedures, namely
movement detection, new Care of Address configuration and Binding
Update, is often unacceptable to real-time traffic such as Voice
over IP. Reducing the handover latency could be beneficial to non
real-time, throughput-sensitive applications as well. This document
specifies a protocol to improve handover latency due to Mobile IPv6
procedures. This document does not address improving the link
switching latency.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-mipshop-fmipv6-rev-00.txt".
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.
