Title : Fast Handovers in Mobile IPv6

When a mobile node moves to a new point of attachment in the
Internet, relying on router advertisements may be insufficient to
insure adequate performance of time-critical applications running on
the mobile node. In many cases, other indications are available to
trigger handover of the mobile node to a new point of attachment,
at a new access router. The mobile node and the access router may
then be able to take steps, in addition to those specified for Mobile
IPv6, to reduce the time during which the mobile node is effectively
disconnected from the Internet. This specification defines the fast
handover problem and outlines a proposed solution to the problem.

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
Internet-Draft.
