Description and evaluation of mobile IPv6 for interfaces

In the near future, mobile devices can be integrated in several wireless and wired interfaces that can be connected to the Internet everywhere and all the time. This article discusses how to perform vertical handovers (flow redirection between interfaces) and proposes MMI (mobile IPv6 for multiple interfaces) which describes the use of mobile IPv6 to support multiple interfaces. We also provide an evaluation of MMI in a typical mobile environment.
