Abstract

Fast Handovers is an enhancement to the Mobile IPv6 protocol, currently specified in an IETF draft, which reduces the handover latency. This can be beneficial to real-time applications. This paper presents a novel implementation of Fast Handovers and an analysis of the handover. Using a real testbed we study the handover latency and the provided QoS: analyzing the OWD, IPDV and Packet Loss before and after the handover. Finally we present a comparison between the Mobile IPv6 and the Fast Handovers handover.
