Abstract
A method of mobility management in a label-switched network comprising a primary domain comprising N label-switched nodes, with N>1, and a mobile domain comprising M mobile label-switched nodes, with M≧1, the mobile domain being movable with respect to said primary domain, packets routing between the primary domain and the mobile domain being performed by means of a primary border node, selected from the N label-switched nodes, and a mobile border node, selected from the M mobile label-switched nodes, wherein a handoff procedure is executed that establishes a label switched connection between the primary border node and the mobile border node.
