RE: [802.21] MIH commands for handover
Hi Sanjib,
 
There is no MIH protocol defined for reactive modes e.g. 
MN_HO_Candidate_Query* is only predictive/proactive.
 
In FMIP, PrRtSol/PrRtrAdv are exchanged (not in critical 
path) on old link regardless of predictive or reactive but MN was not able to 
complete the FBU/FBA on the old link. The reactive mode is then to exchange 
FBU/FBA on the new link. But the NCoA info is already available before you 
arrive at the new link. OTH, if you want to discuss an adverse situation where 
MN has no information of new link, then a router discovery must happen with 
RtrSol and RTrAdv before sending FBU.

Hi Srini 
Well I agree with u that NCoA can be sent over serving 
link, this is wat the 
predictive mode as 
far as my knowledge is concerned... 
how 
will you send NCoA information in case of reactive mode of 
handover..... 
In 
that scenario either the L2 messages should carry IP information or 
MIHF should do the same. ofcource this in turn 
needs changes to MIH 
message 
parameters... 
thanks & 
regards 
Sanjib
