RE: how to measure the handoff latency in MIPv6

Liansheng -

Well, if KAME-MIPv6 implements eager cell switching, then setup 2
routers that advertise different prefixes on the same link. Then,
whenever KameMN gets a RA from a new router (different from the one it
last discovered), it should do a L3 move and switch to a new care-of
address. You should be able to tell from a packet capture the latency:
measure the time between when KameMN receives the RA that caused it to
switch to a new care-of address and the time that it takes for KameMN to
complete registration of that new care-of address with the home agent.
If you want, you can also include a single CN in the latency, and then
also measure the time required for KameMN to update its binding with the
CN.

Note: Mobile IPv6 discussion has moved to a new mip6 mailing list
