CCFH(Candidatecasting Fast Handoff) algorithm excels the performance of existing fast handoff schemes using multicasting in terms of handoff latency and B/W efficiency. The scheme uses L2 information(BSSID) at Wireless LAN and starts multicasting before L2 handoff. So it can reduce L3 handoff latency. At this article, we would show that Candidatecasting Fast Handoff Scheme is clearly new scheme using L2 information and has the good performance.
