Title: Adapting Mobile IPv6 Fast Handovers for IPv4
State: Active
Authors: Rajeev Koodli, Charles Perkins

The Mobile IPv6 fast handover document [2] specifies a protocol to improve
latency and packet loss resulting from Mobile IPv6 handover operations.
This document adapts the protocol for IPv4 networks to improve performance
over Mobile IPv4 operations, including processing of Agent Advertisements,
new Care of Address acquisition and Registration Request and Reply.
However, Foreign Agent operation at a router is not necessary. Also, the
protocol may be used transparently on hosts which do not support Mobile IP,
but with limited movement across subnets. Using the concepts outlined in
configuration and location update latencies. For reducing the IP address
configuration, the draft provides two alternatives. First, the new CoA is
always made to be the new access router's IP address. Second, a hash
algorithm is used to produce a new CoA, and any conflicts are resolved so
as not to cause traffic misdirection.
