Mobile IPv4 Fast Handovers
RFC 4988, “Mobile IPv4 Fast Handovers”, is an Experimental document published in October 2007 by R. Koodli, C. Perkins. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document adapts the Mobile IPv6 Fast Handovers to improve delay and packet loss resulting from Mobile IPv4 handover operations. Specifically, this document addresses movement detection, IP address configuration, and location update latencies during a handover. For reducing the IP address configuration latency, the document proposes that the new Care-of Address is always made to be the new access router's IP address. This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
What “Experimental” means
