Abstract

In this paper, a handover mechanism that offers soft handover support between two different IP subnets for mobile clients is introduced. This handover is a part of a whole mobility support protocol consisting of several components. The handover is based on a protocol that introduces new methods for updating the location of mobile nodes. The handover is designed to cause no or minimal packet loss and be fast. It uses two different interfaces for achieving it.
