Recent research in mobility management has culminated in an extension to the Mobile IPv6 protocol, which reduces the latency during the handover of a mobile node from one network link to another. The benefits of this extension are most apparent to real-time applications; however the Resource ReserVation Protocol (RSVP) used by many of these applications negates the effect of the changes because a new RSVP session must be established after each handover. The purpose of this paper is to suggest an extension to the RSVP protocol that will minimize the delay involved in establishing new RSVP sessions during handover. The paper will initially examine existing research in the areas of RSVP and fast handovers for mobile IPv6, and then define an algorithm with which to extend the RSVP protocol.
