Abstract
Recently, more and more portable terminals probably have multiple interfaces to be connected to different access technologies. Each technology has its specific characteristics in terms of coverage area, bandwidth, reliability, etc. For example, the mobile node is equipped with three heterogeneous interfaces; IEEE 802.1lb MLAM link, CDMA Cellular link, and 802.16 WiMAX link These mobile nodes may be reachable through different links at the same time or use each interface alternately depending on the network environment. As like this, the portable terminal equipped multiple interfaces can have many benefits; it should be connect to Internet through other interface in case of occurring to failure for currently activate interface, and it should share a mount of traffic efficiently per interface etc. This environment is called end node Multihoming. However, current most Internet protocols are designed originally with single interface in mind. So these potocols do not provide methods for supporting simultaneous diffentiated use of multiple access technologies. In this paper, firstly we have to refer technical consideration items to use multiple interfaces based on IPv6 simultaneously. And we should propose extended registration mechanism for multiple addresses being acquired from interfaces to support reliable accessibility and vertical handover.
