Abstract
Fast handover protocol provides seamless handover in mobile Ipv6 networks by reducing handover latency. This paper proposes FMIP-M mechanism to apply this advantage of fast handover protocol to multicast service. The FMIP-M is a fast handover mechanism that supports a reliable multicast service in mobile Ipv6 networks. When hosts move other networks, they may have seine data missing and out-of-synch problems of multicast data. The proposed mechanism provides reliable multicast transmission by compensating data losses from the previous AR. Also it provides an additional function that is able to change multicasting service types dynamically in accordance with network status related with multicasting. So that it is able to make multicast paths very close to the optimum and more efficient multicast service is possible. The performance of the proposed mechanism is evaluated by a time analysis and simulations in various conditions.
