Recent years in the field of mobile communications have brought two significant requirements - seamless service delivery and Quality of Service provisioning. Since seamless mobility goes hand in hand with Mobile IPv6 protocol and since various handover schemes of this protocol are trying to solve the QoS issue, there is a need for comparison of such handover schemes. In this paper we are presenting a method for evaluation of the Layer 3 handover schemes from the handover latency point of view. We are also providing results of this comparison for four most common handover schemes of Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6, FMIPv6, HMIPv6 and F- HMIPv6). However, the method is applicable to any other current or future handover scheme.
