An improved IP network service is expected in the near future in both wired and wireless environment. In this regard, the handover capabilities are extremely important and challenging, in particular if their use in operation must be seamless. One of the main steps to achieve seamless handover is the quick discovery of IP addresses and service capabilities of candidate access routers to hand over to. In this paper, we present a push-mode-multicast based solution to discover and timely update information about wireless resources. We evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in terms of signaling burden and discovery time with respect to solutions already presented in literature.

Abstract
An improved IP network service is expected in the near future in both wired and wireless environment. In this regard, the handover capabilities are extremely important and challenging, in particular if their use in operation must be seamless. One of the main steps to achieve seamless handover is the quick discovery of IP addresses and service capabilities of candidate access routers to hand over to. In this paper, we present a push-mode-multicast based solution to discover and timely update information about wireless resources. We evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in terms of signaling burden and discovery time with respect to solutions already presented in literature.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
