The Candidate Access Router Discovery (CARD) protocol specified in
[1] is aimed to enable seamless IP layer handover by aiding seamless
Layer 3 (L3) mobility management protocols like Fast Mobile IP (FMIP)
by providing identity and capabilities information of the candidate
access routers (CARs) to the mobile node (MN) prior to the initiation
of handover while the MN is still connected to its current AR.
The specifications as laid down in [1], however, specifies a very
generic mechanism of the CARD protocol effective only in specific
network architecture scenarios and it doesn't take into account the
stringent requirements of a fast moving MN and real time
communication sessions, especially when it comes to resolving
candidate access routers that my be adjacent geographically but not
topologically.
This draft addresses the expected shortcomings of the base CARD
protocol with respect to fast moving MNs and real time communication
sessions by proposing extensions that is expected to improve and/or
enhance the performance of the generic CARD protocol as specified in
[1].
