Charlie, Test beds are good. But no one is going to use it till we make sure it works across many products. I would not put my shit on the line for anyones implementation of layer 3 such as a soldier or hospital emergency rescue team. Nor for IPv6 at this time.
I would like to see specs for this and agreement on MIPv6 movement. We can't even get MIPv6 PS in the IETF. Thanks /jim -----Original Message----- From: Charles E.

Hello Jim, Layer 3 handover definitely can and does work. We have been showing smooth layer-3 handover for voice for almost two years now, even with conference demos and press releases, using Mobile IPv6. Improvements have been done for QoS and several other features which aren't the point of this note. Video is either done or doable depending on your definitions. The media and technology (Mobile IP and fast handovers) support it; some way of alleviating DAD delays is required for it to work. The market and the standardization process are another matter entirely. Research publications are yet another matter, but some papers have been published. Regards, Charlie P.
