Mobile IPv4 describes how a Mobile Node can perform IPv4-layer
handoffs between subnets served by different Foreign Agents. In
certain cases, the latency involved in these handoffs can be above
the threshold required for the support of delay-sensitive or real-time
services. The aim of this document is to present two methods to
achieve low-latency Mobile IPv4 handoffs. In addition, a combination
of these two methods is described. The described techniques allow
greater support for real-time services on a Mobile IPv4 network by
minimizing the period of time when a Mobile Node is unable to send or
receive IPv4 packets due to the delay in the Mobile IPv4 Registration
process. This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet
community.
This document is a product of the Mobility for IPv4
Working Group of the IETF.
