Title : Mobile IPv6 Neighborhood Routing for Fast Handoff

The Mobile IP working group is currently examining proposals to
assist in minimizing the latency and packet loss due to handoffs
when a Mobile IPv6 node moves from one point of attachment to
another. One of the desires to reduce this latency and packet loss
is a result of the strict requirements of real-time network
services. This proposal specifies a solution whereby the mobile
node sends a binding update with multiple care-of-addresses which
match the current link and other links that the mobile node may
possibly visit next. After receiving such a binding update, the
correspondent nodes and home agent use a new routing header
extension to route the packet that will be received by the mobile
node at one of the possible care-of-addresses. Thus, the
correspondent nodes and home agent can still communicate with
the mobile node despite not knowing its exact location while the
mobile node moves across links. The proposal presents no new
networking entities and the resulting architecture describes a
natural extension to the Mobile IPv6 protocol.

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
