Abstract:

   Various approaches have been proposed to support multicast in PMIPv6

   domains. However, the problem of partial deployment of multicast in

   the PMIPv6 domain has not been considered. In particular, the

   proposed approaches typically assume that all the MAGs of the PMIPv6

   domain are multicast-capable. The present work aims at carrying out

   the case where some of the PMIPv6 domain's MAGs are not necessarily

   multicast-capable.
