Title : Bicast packet identification header
Author(s) : H. Petander
Filename : draft-petander-mipshop-bicasthdr-00.txt
Pages : 6

Bicasting or multicasting of traffic can be used to reduce the impact
of a handoff by allowing a Mobile Node to receive a stream via
multiple paths simultaneously. However, receiving of multiple copies
of the packets may have a negative impact on applications which
cannot distinguish duplicate packets. This holds true for all
applications using TCP which mistakes the packet duplication from
bicasting with congestion and reduces the sending rate drastically.
This document specifies an IPv6 destination option header which can
be used to identify and discard duplicate copies of bicasted packets.

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.
