Abstract:
Fast handover protocols for Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) and Proxy Mobile IPv6
(PMIPv6) define mobility management procedures that support unicast
communication at reduced handover latency. Fast handover base
operations do not affect multicast communication, and hence do not
accelerate handover management for native multicast listeners. Many
multicast applications like IPTV or conferencing, though, comprise
delay-sensitive real-time traffic and will benefit from fast handover
completion. This document specifies extension of the Mobile IPv6
Fast Handovers (FMIPv6) and the Fast Handovers for Proxy Mobile IPv6
(PFMIPv6) protocols to include multicast traffic management in fast
handover operations. This multicast support is provided first at the
control plane by a management of rapid context transfer between
access routers, second at the data plane by an optional fast traffic
forwarding that may include buffering. An FMIPv6 access router
indicates support for multicast using an updated Proxy Router
Advertisements message format.
This document updates RFC5568 "Mobile IPv6 Fast Handovers".
