Abstract:
Fast handover protocols for MIPv6 and 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, are comprised of
delay-sensitive real-time traffic and will benefit from fast handover
execution. 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.
