	Title		: Seamless Multicast Handover in a Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 Environment (M-HMIPv6)

This document extends the Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 Internet Draft to 
   include the reception and transmission of Any Source Multicast 
   traffic at the Mobile Node. It introduces handover mechanisms for 
   IPv6 mobile multicast listeners and mobile multicast senders. 
   Operations are based on a Mobile IPv6 environment with local mobility 
   anchor points. These local anchor points are conformal with a 
   Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 proxy infrastructure. Handover latencies in 
   the proposed scheme remain bound to link switching delays with 
   respect to these local proxy points. Thus the M-HMIPv6 achieves 
   seamless mobility, even though no bicasting of multicast streams is 
   used. Multicast listeners in addition encounter the option to 
   optimize multicast routing by turning to a direct data reception. 
   The mechanisms described in this document do not rely on assumptions 
   of any specific multicast routing protocol in use. The M-HMIPv6 
   protocol operations utilize the existing HMIPv6, MIPv6 and MLDv2 
   messages under minor extensions.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
