MobileIP is addressing this issue with drafts such as
draft-elmalki-mobileip-fast-handoffs-03.txt and
draft-soliman-mobileip-hmipv6-01.txt.

Hi, Rohan:

Again, let us go back to the basic:

SIP is a session initiation protocol. What needs to be done, if any, in the
SIP layer if the point of attachment is changed during the session.

Best regards,
Radhika R. Roy

*NO* !!  Part of SIPs mandate is *personal* mobility, as a user moves from 
device to device.  Personal mobility is a good, useful thing.  However, The 
SIP charter does *NOT* include solving the problem of a device moving 
through different layer 2 networks.  This is a problem for a layer 3 
protocol to solve generically.  If Mobile IP doesn't do what we need it to, 
then lets extend it, fix it, or replace it.
