Fast handover protocols for Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) and Proxy Mobile IPv6
(PMIPv6) define mobility management procedures that support unicast
communication at reduced handover latency. Fast handover base
operations do not affect multicast communication and, hence, do not
accelerate handover management for native multicast listeners. Many
multicast applications like IPTV or conferencing, though, comprise
delay-sensitive, real-time traffic and will benefit from fast
handover completion. This document specifies extension of the Mobile
IPv6 Fast Handovers (FMIPv6) and the Fast Handovers for Proxy Mobile
IPv6 (PFMIPv6) protocols to include multicast traffic management in
fast handover operations. This multicast support is provided first
at the control plane by management of rapid context transfer between
access routers and second at the data plane by optional fast traffic
forwarding that may include buffering. An FMIPv6 access router
indicates support for multicast using an updated Proxy Router
Advertisements message format.

This document updates RFC 5568, "Mobile IPv6 Fast Handovers".

This document is a product of the Multicast Mobility Working Group of the IETF.

All,
This RFC is the final work product of the multimob WG. I want to
thank all of the participants for their contributions to the documents
published by the WG.

I have asked the IETF secretariat to close the WG, but leave the
mailing list open. That will allow for ongoing discussions related to
the published documents.

Regards,
Brian

Thanks to all who participated and especially everyone who
authored the documents and the published RFCs. It was
challenging at times, but we did publish some good documents
in a fairly timely manner.

Enjoyed working with you all.
