Title: Seamless Multicast Handover in a Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 Environment (M-HMIPv6)
State: Active
Authors: Thomas Schmidt, Matthias Waehlisch
Group: Individual Submissions (none)
Date: 2004-09-27
This document extends the Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 Internet Draft to
include the reception and transmission of multicast traffic at the Mobile
Node. It introduces handover mechanisms for IPv6 mobile multicast listeners
and mobile multicast senders. Operations are based on a Mobile IPv6
environment with local mobility anchor points. These local anchor points
are conformal with a Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 proxy infrastructure.
Handover latencies in the proposed scheme remain bound to link switching
delays with respect to these local proxy points. Multicast listeners in
addition encounter the option to optimize multicast routing by turning to a
direct data reception.
