A Comprehensive Delay Analysis for Reactive and Proactive Handoffs with Mobile IPv6 Route Optimization

Optimizations to reduce handoff delays inherent in Mobile IPv6 Route Optimization as well as IPv6 router discovery, address configuration, and movement detection have so far been mostly considered on an individual basis. This document evaluates three integrated solutions for improved handoff experience in surroundings with different preconditions: reactive handoffs with unmodified routers, reactive handoffs with router support, and movement anticipation and proactive handoff management.
